i always wondered the same i was surfing ebay last week late ( i always buy weird @!#$ when im bored) so i decided to buy a strut bar installed it and i def notice alot less body roll and tighter steering its not so much of a "boat" feel if i go back and fourth with the wheel i got mine for like 20 shipped on ebay
Yes, it does help as far as cornering. It won't be a huge difference but you'll notice it. The more suspension modifications you make, the better it will feel and tighter the suspension will feel.

Hey now... let's not get carried away here.
He's right in that it will help. You can't go wrong with off-the-shelf bracing available for our cars.
I think he's being a bit enthusiastic with the "the more the merrier" idea of suspension mods though. Different suspension mods are meant to give different results and not all of them will be what you want. You have to pick and choose wisely and then evaluate what you've done before taking the next step.

Maybe I worded it wrong and made it seem like I was downplaying the modification. I agree with what you're saying though.

No, not downplaying at all. I just didn't want people to read this:

...and then go out and buy new struts, springs, sway bars, braces, and bushings and put them all on at once and think their car is perfect.
We're on the same page. I just wanted to ensure people know that there's more to it than just adding whatever they can get their hands on.
I have basically a stock suspension except for front and rear strut tower bars, and I notice alot better control from them.
It rides stock untill you get into a corner, and with them on, I'm able to take on/off ramps at a higher speed without understeering or the tires losing traction.
Definately worth it imo.

Im gonna get one as soon as I put my new suspension on. Good to know they do make a difference.
Is the rear sway bar really worth it as well?
What kind of changes have you noticed?
