you can't compare setups on different cars. suspensions could be worn at different levels as well as different tires making more traction in some scenarios.

in all honesty the after market strut bars that are made for our cars and just about every other car aren't legit. true strut tower bars will connect the struts to the firewall. volvo does this alot. most high end cars do. you can't just connect the struts together. youhave to anchor them to the chassis. if you want a real improvement buy a set and take it to a machine shop and have them weld it onto your firewall. that's about the only way to get a real increase out of this mod.

if you would like a better place to spend the money get struts or a good rear anti sway bar. sway bars will increase performance far more than upper strut bars. even if they're proper strut bars. specially on our cars that are pretty heavy and have feeble if any rear sway bars.

for a good antisway bar check out RMDSM. i beleive it's RMDSM.com if that URL doesn't work google RMDSM.

thanks beefgg for the sig
