X-barce.... one of my first mods 
if your not a trace junkie.... you will be happy with just
the Xbrace... you will feel the front tires track better
bigger front sway bar.... will make rear come out sooner ... then you will need to
upgrade rear $600 front.... Rear ? $300-400
just get a Xbrace... and drive it you will be happy

I had front AND rear strut bars on my old del sol for 70 bucks on ebay, and they were as stiff as you're going to get. Even the 70 dollar Megan Racing one is a bit too pricey. That is just ridiculous for a little piece of metal. Think about a set of springs, you can get a set of 4 for roughly 200 dollars. There is actual R&D included with springs, and they are most likely much harder to manufacture. Yet, they are STILL cheaper than a little bar of metal.
If you want to throw your money away, get a 250 dollar "comptech" name brand strut bar.

An STB isn't really going to improve your handling, and certainly isn't necessary, but it's your money so do with it what you wish.
