Which front bar do you prefer? Strut or Sway?

A cosmetic upgrade perhaps???
Interestingly, past forum comments by those who have installed them range from 'no noticable difference' to 'a huge improvement'.

I think it really comes down to how you drive your car. And what you expect out of it for the particular driver you are. The typical driver may not feel a mod such as a strut bar while the more agressive driver will. But the sway bar is something that you feel even when not driving agressively. Which is why more people can feel it and give positive response.
