moody95 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I don't have eather but frome what i've heard sway bars are the best. Strut bars just stiffin the frame. Sway bars help reduce body roll. Without them when you corner the inside of the car lifts up and the outside compreses. The sway bar conects the two struts so that when one side of the car is compresed it transfers the compresing force through the sway bar and compresses the inside strut which means less body roll.

EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 ITR rear swaybar and stock 92-95 civic ex/si front swaybar. I have the front for sale if you want it. Strut towers bars dont do much of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I don't get what's FAIL about that. I mean, I didn't notice a lick of difference with my strut bars in my rex and yet have heard lots of testimonials for good sway bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_eater12 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 a sway bar connect the lower control arms to the frame. it acts like a torsion bar, the sway bar twists and then compresses the strut. the thicker the bar the less the sway bar will move. that in turn cancels out your body role. a strut tower brace not only stiffins the frame it also in turn lessens body role and chassis flex. the stiffer you chassis the better your cornering. so they are both good additions to your suspension.

leschikenbell Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 strut bars are an added bonus if you have sway bars, keeps the car even more stable particular in track. sway bars most def are better option for your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
