I was wondering which would give me better performance right off the bat. Anyone have experience with running either? I couldn't find any discussions about it in the many threads I have read in the Suspension section. Thanks.
i say get both of them , i actually only feel these work when i go over driver ways and speed bumps at an angle , not currently on my gs but previous cars it helped with the creaking noise as you crawl over the speed bump or driveways .. so im sure it works just , the gs isnt really a handling machine persay..
Of course the sways are going to get you better handling. Im running front and back strut bar and I definitely noticed the difference during turns and bumps at angles.

It was a 5 min install too
What strut bars are you running? I wanna get the RMM front but I wish they made a rear.
U should PM Glenn about it though. It might be a front bar with custom mounts???? I haven't asked him about it myself but i've seen this at several meets.
if you're not already lowered, you'll be wasting your money. Coils or even springs/shocks would be your biggest improvement. Follow that with sways, then with underbracing/strut tower bars.
A strut bar on a stock height car won't make a noticeable difference.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the car its already lowered. I have both on my other car, but that is a hatch and is much lighter than the GS. The question was specific to the GS and was not meant to be a general theoretical question.

How did you do a 5 minute install when you have to remove the lining in the trunk? All of those clips are a pain the the **** and the liner is stiff as heck. Anyway, with rear, did you cut out an opening or just do little slits?
