Strut bars usually don't do much on older generation Hondas. (Insert typical comment about chassis stiffening from the strut bar apologists.)

Your DA Teg should work well with a small front sway bar and a big rear sway bar.

Find yourself a smaller front sway bar that fits your car, invest in an ST rear bar.

My 2 cents, probably not what you wanted to hear.

adjustable sways are nice too....they can grow with your setup or be tweaked for what's right for you.

What class do you run... daily driver?? if so do you care if it rides like a dump truck day to day. IMHO strut tie bars are a wast of cash most of the time... other than the loose nut behind the wheel....Tires give the biggest improvement.. then springs/shocks/sway bars... once the car is running very high spring rates... ie 400 plus pounds and sticky r compound tires the strut bars might help...

very early 80s and 70s unibody cars are the ony ones where strut tie bars seem to make an improvement one can notice.. mstly less creaks and rattles going down the road since the unibody it showing its age.

I have Ventus RS2's which are 200 treadwear...Koni Sport Yellow's and Eibach Sportline springs...The car does ride rough when the shocks are adjusted in but, when they are out it does very well...So with all things considered would the ebay version or neuspeed or any other brand give me a little more handling...steering help....

thanks

You are complaining about a rough ride when you have stiff shocks and stiff springs.

What setting are you running your shocks at.
What alignment do you have on the car.
What is your driving style.

You can do wonders without spending any money at all. The right foot can do amazing things when used properly to rotate a car.

An ill handling car is seldom fixed by just throwing money at it.

Buy some $20 camber bolts...good investment. Rear sway bar is a great investment, too. If the strut bars are like $20 a piece, then go for it, but if you're going to blow $100-200, just get a rear sway bar.
