Rear strut bars... How much do they really help??

ok first off....the best designs are the ones that are one solid piece....it makes sense that the more "joints" that are held together via bolts--the weaker the bar will be. DC bars for example are hinged on both ends....this hinged area is the weakest part of the bar and while the addition of a DC bar will improve handling....it wont improve it as much as a bar from Benen, Mugen or Neuspeed all of which feature solid construction. If you want a strut bar....go for the solid ones they will help the most! Here is the benen bar http://www.benen.com/products/suspen...ear_strut.html I personally believe that benen is making some of the best quality bars at the best prices....check out their full line! Neuspeed only makes a solid front strut bar so that doesnt help you....and Mugen....I personally have not seen the Mugen rear strut bar but I have seen 2 different pictures of it....one pic shows it as two pieces (jdmhondaparts.com) and another pic shows it as one piece (king motorsports website). Hope that helps a little
