CONS: Tie bars can accelerate chassis wear/tear. A stiffer chassis has to have good suspension though. If you stiffen up a chassis and then put on some Pep Boys shocks and springs you will never notice the difference.

And just because you put on some $2000 coilover system, strut bars, sway bars, and such - doesn't mean you can out corner a Ferrari. You have to get your car corner weighted or your car will drive like a SUV with a flat tire.

PROS: a good setup car (coilovers, shocks, tires, wheels, and sway bars) will get better with a tie/strut bar since now the weakest point is the chassis.
