i think all strut bars work.. i have cusco and i felt a difference, better handlin' in turns and feels more firm. i like it, i'm sure the carson tuned will be the same way, i hear it's a great product.

they usually tighten up the steering wheel a bit

but comparing to coilovers (springs/shocks) and sway bars their effect are not as dramatic

The Carson Strut Bar works well. I installed it after installing L-Tuned shocks, Dazien Springs, and the TRD front and rear sway bar. I drove for about 2 weeks without the strut bar, and after installing it, I could tell a difference in the the feel of control in cornering. Can't wait to get the new retrofited bar installed once they finally are available.
