have a 2000 and I am looking into getting the both the rear and front strut bars by DC Sports. they are thicker and dont look to cheaply made. They are a little expensive but they do what they are suppose to.Here is a linkfor the strut bar for a SRT-4. Itssorta an idea of what it looks like.

I have the Vibrant and it is pretty nice. Not as stiff as the DC/Mopar stuff.

What it is supposed to do, is when you have the suspension tweaked (especially) the increased stress of the sway bars and higher rate springs causes the body to flex when pushed. So when you add them the help stiffen the chassis and allow your suspension to work more efficiently. The rear helped calm down a nervous twitch when hard cornering to smooth and glassy feeling and the front under HARD slow speed cornering allowed the front end to bite better.

Hope that helps.

DC sports makes just about the best you can get. I have one in my garage but it doesn't fit because of the stupid cruise control thing in the way. Got some cutting to do.

I got the DC on my 04 R/T. What cruise control piece? Is that the round thing on the passenger strut tower? If so I just bent the bracket back as far as I had clearance and whalla!

The ebay ones won't make a difference because of how they're built.

And no I'm not selling mine. Just gotta get something to cut the bracket with so I can install it
