Yes you can use the aftermarket SRT tension struts on our cars.

You wont really feel anything until you hit the brakes at a higher speed, it really jelps keep things "stable" under heavy braking like that. The SRT-4 rear sway bar is only 17mm, so it wont be a huge difference, but you'll definitely feel a difference with a rear sway bar compared to not having a rear sway bar.

from what i understand, the sways will help body roll... making you turn better... and the rear tensioners help with front to bake body roll during braking, making the car more stable when braking into a corner....... so yeah turning should be much better!!

good on them i'd imagine..... less body roll means less pressure onthe strut.
