Default MMW rear strut bar or TRD sway bar?

has anyone got the MMW rear strut bar?

If so is it just as effective as upgrading the rear sway?
Or is it an "as well as" product to add on with a sway bar?

the sway bar is the better performance upgrade... i would consider the strut brace only after you have the sway bar..

Sway bar 1st for sure. Strut bar is way down the road when you cant find anything elso to do to the car. It is questionable as to whether or not it helps at all.

did you know that the strut and sway does completely different things?

sway helps in decreasing body roll
struts helps in preventing body flex

i would definitely get the rear sway first. i did that then i made my own rear strut bar which did help too but it gave me a lot of lift throttle oversteer. but with front and rear sway bars and a rear strut bar handling is very nice. the car feels a lot more planted.
