Default rear strut

I put on my front strut bar and I was thinking about getting the rear. Will it make a big difference to get the rear or should I just stick with the front?

the rear strut bar will give you firmer steering or cornering response. also reduce oversteering. so in some way, you may get understeering

Our cars have understeer automatically built into them as a safety precaution (understeer is easier to predict and correct than oversteer). I don't think that adding the rear strut tower brace would add understeer. Your rear strut towers can still flex parallel to one another // and . They just can no longer do funky cornering things like / or /. It will give your car a more neutral cornering characteristic over stock...you will have more of that "riding on rails" sensation when zipping through the highway interchange cloverleaf!

It also reduces a lot of the "wiggle" noises you hear in your car when you corner hard. It quiets the car down, and makes it feel more "stable" and "predictable".
