It kills body roll. Let's say you see a stock ES taking a turn really quickly -- the body of the car will move to one side, while the tires stay on the ground, exposing a lot of wheel gap. With the strut bar, the body hardly rolls at all, making qiuck turns much more comfortable.

madmadrid, that bar looks exactly like the one i have. if they are the same, then that bar will absolutely hit the plenum intake and make a really unpleasant clunking sound in some gears, and almost always when you put the car in reverse.
