Assuming that you mean "strut bars" and not stabilizer/sway bars:

Upper strut bars make a big difference in handling. They tie the upper strut towers together and greatly stiffen the chassis for more predictable cornering and quicker/tighter response to steering inputs.

I don't believe, however, that strut bars are available for Gen 3 CR-Vs just yet.

I was amazed to find that Gen 3 didn't already have an OEM front/upper strut bar especially since all Gen 2 Vs had them.:confused:
