they keep the struts at the same distance all the time making the body more rigid. making a better handling car. well thats it in my words.
am sure someone else has a more technical explination

when i fitted the front one to my old corsa i noticed a change, turn in was alot more solid. Just gave the car a bit more confidence and solidity turning into corners. Worth while in my eyes!

definately worth the money, put it on for a couple of months then take it off then you will notice the difference.

i remember reading somewhere a while ago that they're more effective on cars that have been lowerd 'cus of the change in suspension geometry caused by the shorter springs.

dunno how much truth there is in this mind you.
