Just curious, I was interested in grabbing some strut bars front and rear(upper) for my s13 hatch, but a friend of mine told me that with the strut bars you don’t really feel a difference in the ride, that the real difference comes with sway bars? Can anyone clarify this for me, if its a repost can u send me to the link, thanks.

Your friend is almost right. STB’s definitely improve the stiffness of your ride but the effect is not nearly as noticeable as sway bars.

Just do both ;]
