Those are strut bars not sway bars. On my old 98, I was using OEM bars. An SiR upfront and and ITR in the back. They "seemed" to stiffen things up a bit, but I also had the suspension modified too. Adding strut bars to a car with stock suspension won't do a thing.

If you were to get some type of strut bars, it is also recommend to use the type that have solid ends, not the adjustable kind that are multiple pieces because the bar itself will flex at the ends.

You're going to need a few things to mount the front sway bar...I'm pretty sure the rear sway bar is a direct bolt on but you're going to need reinforcement for the subframe.

waste of money imo... the two smaller ones do abosuletly nothing and the bigger one (STRUT bar) have little effect.. if you want better control buy some pic coilover and front and rear SWAY bar. there are two rear sway bar for sale right now at 30 $ = wicked price

the best thing those will give is a carbon fiber looking piece under the hood and in the trunk. if thats worth it to you then for buy them

To say again, those are not sway bars. Those are strut tower bars and tie bars. If you want something that will reduce roll, look into the Suspension Techniques stuff on Ebay or try to hunt down an SiR front/ITR rear with reinforcement.

These strut bars will do little, next to nothing for your car.
