What is the best quality strut bar and sway bar to get?
I'm debating whether to get a Hotchkis Strut Bar, DC Sports, or GReddy. I'm not sure which one handles the best and if you guys can help me choose i'd appreciate it. Also, if i do get a strut bar, am i better off getting just a rear sway bar or both a front and rear sway? I was thinking TRD rear sway or the Hotchkis front and rear sway. I just want the best handling for my car.

Strut bar simply put: Buy it for looks. Any performance benefit at all would be negligible between each. So get the one you think looks the best with your car.
Sway bars... well, I'd like to pick up a set of Hotchkis sways. Really to match my springs. I've heard good things. But I also haven't heard anything bad about the TRD, so either way would probably be fine.

Greddy wins hands down. The hotchkis bar along with the tanabe and others are laughable. They know the front strut bar on a FF car does nothing so they got a piece of aluminum slapped thier name on it and sell it to people for 80 bucks. it is purely cosmetic. And the greddy looks better than all by far. Greddy blue >*

remember all, the strut tower bar is and does not perform like a sway bar. They are completely different things. strut bars are to help keep things from 'bending and twisting' over time. sways are for cornering performance and helps keep the car rigid with less body roll.

1. Front Strut Bar - DC. it's big and beefy and no moving parts to loosen
2. Sway Bars - Hotchkis. much stiffer and much more adjustable then the TRD
3. Rear Strut - um.. personally.. i doubt you will even need a rear strut bar on the tc. But if you do want one.. you might not feel it enough to warrant the $165 for the MMW one.

Remember that if you get a "Strut Bar" to jack the car up and lift the wheels off the ground before you install it. This is the proper technique when installing a strut bar and you will notice the difference if your a spirited driver.
