I don't know. The GE Fit seems stiff to me stock. What are you guys doing with your cars to need this?

B C you cant really go wrong with because they are a one piece design and there is no joints to flex.

A looks like a typical cheap front strut bar.

D you would feel the most if you put any of these on your cars cause it will probably stiffen up the rear end and give you a nice cornering feel.

D, I like. The GE is very stiff to me as well. I just want a aftermarket rear sway to balance out the nose heavy front end while driving down some twisty roads. More of a fun factor to me. I don't open track or auto x so the extra bracing would not be need for a daily driver.

wpyeo, I see you're in Singapore, but are these bars available in the U.S.?
