question

I got my front strut bar in yesterday.

My question is, to go with that, do I need a rear strut bar, or a rear sway bar?

What would be best?

you dont need a rear sway bar but im sure it will help as our cars dont have rear independent suspension. just my 2 cents and a bump

No you don't need it, put it on and go. Though a rear sway bar would be nice. I got the front strut bar, eibach sportline lowering springs, and rear sway bar and my car handles pretty damn good.

Thanks for the help everybody.

I heard a front strut wouldnt help, turns out it did.

So I might try a rear sway bar.

Just checking, is the rear sway bar gonna be low to the ground?

Each sway bar does its own part!

I noticed a big difference with the rear sway bar. Definitely get it you wont be dissapointed. And most sway bars (I have TTR) curve up over the beam so it doesn't hang low to the ground.
