well im curious whats out there on the market, whats the lightest, strongest, cheapest, most expensive, highest quality, cheapest quality, etc...

im pretty made up on wanting (and saving up for) largus swaybars... i've heard thats the baddest of the baddest... but what about strut tower bars?

There are so many brands and types of strut tower bars... id like to know what ppl think... some as low 20 bux (wtf?) some as high as 200+... what gives :P

largus are just the stiffest, nothing real special about them...if you dont plan on drifting theyll actually hurt your handling

dc sports are the best strut bars btw

for the most part, they do very little. you are paying for brand name, material, r&d, etc.

I've had quite a few, do notice they make subtle changes during hard cornering @ autox, etc.

The funny thing is that most ppl (including me) put them on first because they are the cheapest thing to do. Really, they should be one of the last mods ppl should do to fine-tune their setup.

First coilovers (or even a good strut/spring setup), maybe swaybars, arms & rods & bushings, THEN strut bar - all depends on your setup & goals.

Yes, Largus swaybars are the baddest of the baddest, their endlinks are suppose to be one of the best, but if you pair them up w/ stock suspension, or cheap suspension, doesn't really mean much...

**EDIT: o yea, and even if you have the best parts, if you can't tune the car right, or drive well w/ it, then it doesn't mean jack either .
