Strut bars do not decrease body roll, they decrease chassis flex. Also, you don't understand the difference between a strut and a shock. A strut is a load bearing member of the suspension. If you remove it the car will not be able to sit on its wheels. A shock is non load bearing, and if you removed it alone, the car would still sit on its wheels.

The very essence of a torsion beam suspension is based on lateral flex. Anything you put on the beam (a swaybar) to reduce the flex of the arms will decrease body roll. Actually, This type of suspension responds BETTER to a sway bar than other types because the bar is bolted directly to the arms, no endlinks, no bushings, nothing to dampen the bar.

Hope this helps.

what ever you say, i had the TRD rear sway bar on my old echo, and i didnt feel sh!t, maybe you think it does make a difference because you paid big bucks for it, and it's all in your head, bottom line is, i did not feel any difference it made and im not going to lie about it to make myself happy just because i pay the bucks for it, enjoy your rear sway bar.
