   yes but the lower one offers the most improvement but top does help get an omp for handling or an e-tech for look

   it will help, but both together will see the best results.

   my car has been lowered and that has improved the handling but a upper strut brace should make it a bit better

   a top strut brace will improve your handling, but lower one improves your handling the most, get both and you will see the difference

   nah i dont, the only time i catch it is when going thru country lanes, but if i go at slow speeds it doesnt.
   
   but those speed bumps that go between your wheels they catch.

    frankie?
    
    How much does it scrape on the speed bumps that go between your wheels?
