Which is the most effective bar?

....rear antisway bar? or a front strut bar?

I'm getting both but I just wanna know which does a better job for handling. I'm guessing the sway bar cause the Max is front wheel drive. What do you guys think?

Both complement each other. If I had a choice though, I would go with the sway bar in the back. more noticeable difference.

I heard that you will need both to really feel a difference. I have the front bar, dont feel much of a difference. Im waiting for the rest of the parts for my Addco bar to come in for the rear...I cant wait to feel the difference

I put the front bar on first and a rear addco on a week later. The front bar helped correct massive understeer and quickened the response up quite a bit. I never did have the rear bar on by itself but it added a lot to the overall balance. They both had a noticeable improvement on stock suspension. (Which will soon be AGX)

If you can get both, great.

I only have an FSTB, not the RSB. I noticed the difference, and I'm, happy with it.

Mine is the old style $75 Cattman bar.
