strut tower and tie bar

[NSPYRE]

hey guys, as we all kno, front wheel drive handling sucks and i was considering purchasing a set of front and rear strut tower bar's and tie bar's for my DA9. i would just like to kno if these would make any worthwhile noticable difference to handling?

also, what would be better:

1) front and rear strut tower bar's and tie bar's

2) rear sway-bar

*note: sway bar costs around 20% - 25% more than strut tower bar and tie bar set.

thanks for your help...

rear swaybar would be more beneficial first, or rear sway/tie bar combo.

definately swaybar is the way to go
should pick one up for about 230ish for a whiteline 18mm

yeahh i got sway bar 1st too and i think it was a good improvement...

I got rear sway bar and front strut brace

spend the money on good spring/shock combo firstly if you have got this then get the rest
i dont find the rear needs a strut brace it will make it too stiff and swing around my car allready does this

got cusco rear strut tower bar today
IMO, if your gonna pay 2xx.00 for whiteline rear swaybar, might as well get jap one's. i just got quoted today only 20.00 difference between whiteline and cusco.

I'm paying for not getting rear sway first....coilovers first, and already had existing strut tower bars.. got the rear lower tie on now, will get the rear sway fitted soon.

Found that I was getting a wee bit too tail happy at times, but definitely feeling more stable already with the lower tie bar....should be sweet once the rear sway is on.

so wats the best option in reducing under-steer?

front wheel drive handling does not suck, thats a pretty silly thing to say.

i wouldnt even consider getting tower braces until you have new rear swaybar/tiebar, shocks and springs. front tower bars are super for reducing oversteer, and thus until you have good gear elsehwhere as i have mentioned, utterly pointless

^^So its better to fit hard shock/springs or coilovers to a flexing body???NO.Sways and stiff body then suspension last me thinks..

i was suggesting swaybar and rear tie bar first...obviously you failed to read that correctly.
