Default Better Strut bar?

I've only found two strut bars that aren't off brand no names ( like those on ebay ) Ford Racing and Steeda. Does anyone have either and hows the handling?

Feels stiffer and has less wobble in the front with it on

I would focus on stiffening your rear up before your front.

Wow that's cool! I am inexperienced with mods like that. Can you explain how it works?

What is the best way to do that, rear stabilizer bar? I looked at the bar on my V6 and it looks really big. Is the GT bar bigger?

There is a bunch of suspension components in the rear (including the rear stabilizer (sway) bar).

You could always upgrade the sway bar, but you could also upgrade your panhard brace and panhard bar.

A pair of lower control arms will REALLY help as well.
