i hear that a strut tie bar really improves handling and i am going to get one,but i have no idea who makes the best one, or which one is recommended, or does it not matter. what do you guys think?

You can pretty much get any one and it will work. A Bar is a bar. I do suggest that if you buy a cheap one, you buy nuts and bolts to replace the ones that come with it. My Pilot rear lower Strut Bar had bolts and nuts that came on it and they were stuck when I got it from www.JCWhitney.com I had to cut them off and I have good ones on there now. If you can get a hold of a Neuspeed Front Strut Bar, buy it. They don't make it anymore and you can use it and another strut bar from another company at the same time.

Neuspeed Sport Springs
5 Strut Bars (2 F/U, F/L, R/U, R/L)
Sprint Front Camber Kit
$15 Rear Camber Kit
Ported Intake Manifold
Ported Throttle Body
Custom 2 1/4 inch exhaust
Empty Catalytic Convertor
225/50/16inch Wheels and Tires

Go on ebay it where I got both my front and rear bars from for under $60 for both.

You can try that steel one that RRE has, I think turbo bars fit ours. It's much stiffer. Or hunt down that Neuspeed Strut Tower bar for GSTs and do a double bar setup. There are differences in strut bars, the stiffer the better, my ebay bar is pretty flimsy. See if you can find a true carbon fiber strut bar, that'd be nice, light and stiff.

I have the Pilot bars and they do work. The pilot bars are cheap though, in the way they are built and price. When i replace them i'll go with the Sprint front bar and RRE rear. It's all up to want you want to pay.

i need bars too..
i am partial to RRE stuff.. so they do sell Front Upper Bars too? Rear Upper and Lower?

i heard that the Front Upper Pilots dont get in the way of the oil cover.. thats why they sound like they would work for me too.. how much do i expect to spend?
