so i have teins s tech springs on my tc and i was thinking about getting a front strut bar preferably a greddy, trd, or tanabe. But i was thinking a strut bar puts more tension and holds the chassis down alot stronger and since i have it lowered would it be worth it doing it cause after all i have a lowered tc which has a low force of gravity and if i put the strut bar on wouldnt i hear more squeaks?

thanks for reading!

 

i got TRD lowering springs and hotchkis f/r sways... i would suggest getting both front and rear sways. getting just the front would be a waste.

 

i think OP is talking about strut bars and not sway bars.

but nonetehless, a front strut bar doesn't seem to make much a difference, as some have said before

 

More squeaks - no.
Many have reported a reduction in noises, but it's very subjective.
No increase or decrease in squeaks for me. (TRD drop / ARK bar)

Worth it? - Depends.
It's a good piece for show, and it's a good piece to finish off an otherwise "complete" system.
Will it make a huge difference under low-stress, speed-limit driving? Nope.

****Note that the function of strut tower bars is to hold alignment (camber) mid-corner, induced by chassis twist. People don't "feel" anything since it's non-functional without driving at the limit. If you autocross or drive competitively, it becomes more important than if you're looking for bang-for-buck. ****

If you want a "better" mod, one that you can instantly "feel"... then go with a SWAY bar. You can either go with a front/back package [hotchkis], or just a rear replacement [Progress, TRD]. It works in a very different mechanism, limiting weight transfer mid-corner. You'll notice the handling to be a lot sharper and more immediately responsive even on the street.
