I have a MY98 Wagon, already equipped with Eibach Pro, Whiteline rear ARB and the ALK kit. I've decided to buy a either a front or rear strutbar as well, but which one of them will be most noticeable? The goal is to reduce understeer.

In my previous MY00 the front underside bar made huge difference to the stiffnes of the front while rear strut tower bar gave me some more oversteer and confidence when cornering so if you want o do it right buy them both!

Rear strut bar will make a larger difference than say a front upper strut brace...

the design of the front struts - they sit sooo close to the firewall, there's not much flex there to eliminate... thus a front upper strut bar wont make a massive difference...

however the REAR bar will do ya a little bit of good
if it were my choice, i'd do a rear strut bar first...

good luck
