Do you think it is a big deal that a car does not have anti-roll bars?

The Civic vp (2005) coupe. Does it really make a difference and should I be worried if a car doesn't have one when shopping for used car?





How much would it cost to have installed? front and or rear?











Looking to buy it and I am on a budget with very little time to find a car. 8300 asking price from dealer, 84000miles, white, automatic, great condition.|||When you say "anti-roll bars", are you talking about the bars that go inside the passenger compartment to protect you in a rollover accident? Then no, very few cars have those installed, and then only if the car is going to be raced.





If you're talking about what are also called "anti-sway" bars, those go in the front and back of the car, and connect the left and right sides of the suspension to make the car not lean so much in a corner. The Civic comes with them stock, so I'd be concerned if you were looking at a car that didn't have them.|||Big deal? Not at all. Most cars don't have them, not even convertibles.


Keep the rolling bits down and the shiny side up.|||If your car needs roll bars, you don't need to be driving to begin with. Slow down, act like you have a brain, and keep the damn car on the wheels.|||Big deal if you are going to race drag it and put it on track, but for a daily driver, home to work to school, cruise in town NO.|||If you're driving a stock car around Daytona at 200 mph, perhaps. A daily driver does not need actual roll bars installed. Today's cars are very safe for the most part, unless you get into a god awful accident.|||Its not a big deal on coupes and sedans because the roofs have enough support to protect you, drive safe..|||If you think that you need roll bars in your car, you should not be driving on the hi-ways. You belong on a race track.
