So if you're cornering at 1G and 100% weight transfer you should just be able to feel the difference!
Very technical! I think the question was more aimed at can you feel the difference of a strut bar where as that site explains what it does, very informative though!

When I fitted a strut bar the biggest difference that I noticed was how tight the car suddenly became in everyday driving. Absolutely brilliant and would recommend them to anyone. Don't pay big money though as from my experience a nice DIY job is just as good, there's a fella on here that may be interested in making up a batch if anyone is interested?

For the saloon models, fitting a brace across the top of rear damper mounts also helps.
