I just bought a strut bar by DC Sports, but not directly from the company. Go to this site and run a search for your car. They've been good to me everytime I've bought through them. Auto Car Performance Parts | Auto Accessories | Aftermarket Auto Parts

I think you can find it cheaper than RacingLab. They seem to be a little overpriced. Cobalt Addiction has it for $121 shipped if they have them. Might be able to find it cheaper yet. Otherwise used. I'll be picking one up soon as I have my intake and lowering springs done.

unless you drive like your auto-x'ing in your daily drive they are very pointless. you wont even know its there. if somebody tells you they can feel a difference its only when screaming though turns and even then they wont feel it because the supporting mods arent there..." springs, struts, front and rear sway bars, sway bar links, traction bars, solid engine mounts, ect" i can think of many other things you could waste 100-200 dollars on your car.

Agree with you on it not making a big difference in handling -- but it is an excellent visual item under the hood -- dresses up the engine compartment.

The shock towers are also supported by the firewall too, so they are pretty stiff to begin with.

I believe the best strut bar for our cars on the market right now is the MRZ brand. MRZ Performance

But it really is about six one way, half-dozen the other...
