A strut bar connects the two strut/shock towers. Here is what is in the FAQ on Anti-sway bars Handling can be greatly improved on the Z with a common upgrade for to most cars. Replacement of the anti-sway bars (ASB) with a stiffer set will reduce body roll. Combine this with a set of stiffer springs and the handling of the Z comes right in line. An anti sway bar is designed to reduce body roll. It keeps the vehicle 'flatter' in turns by transferring the pressure exerted on the outboard wheels and applying opposite pressure on the inboard wheels. In this way weight is more evenly applied to all four wheels, helping the vehicle stay more level with the road. The stock ASBs are hollow and smaller in diameter then the solid, thicker after market versions. I have had some people try to explain to me that a solid bar is not necessary, that it's the diameter where the tortional strength is gained. I can agree to a point, but if a drinking straw is taken and twisted, what does it do in comparison to a wooden dowel of the same diameter? Extreme, but there's something to be said for the solid piece, it's not likely to try and compress itself while being twisted.
