I think the only real difference you notice on the road with these strut bars is if you have lowered the car a bit, puts a bit more tension through the body  so if you strap it down it makes a difference, It makes a REAL difference if you put lower bars on too and uprate the anti-roll bars. . . what a nice feeling!

Good idea mate, as above, you won't see any real benefits at least until its lowered anyway.
