Default Sway vs. Strut Bar

noob questions..

so i've heard that for TL's.. strut bars make a world of difference.. but on BMW's.. they didn't do anything for me..

So what's the better bang for the buck for S2000?

struts or sways?

specific recommendations also welcome..

sway, anti-sway, anti-roll, stabilizer bar, don't be anal

strut bar would do anything for s2000, the frame is well design, it work good for econo box civic tho'

but again, the most bang for the buck suspension setup after tires are sway bar, in this case, you want a beefier front bar.

Sway/ anti-roll bar, but a STB is nice as well.

IMO if the s2k really needed a strut bar, it would've came with one from the factory.

since we're on the topic of chassis stiffening, has anyone noticed a considerable difference with the underbody crossbrace? some people say it helps and some say it doesn't.
