IMHO it's better if you get the best part for each particular bar.

A certain company might produce a stiffer lower tie bar than another, but their upper strut bar is weaker than the second company's. You see what I mean...

the diffrence with and without the bars is negligable enough, the diffrence between bars is like splitting hairs. only thing that could help alightly more, is more points. PW:JDM has front 3 point and rear 4point bars, should suffice for the top, bottom, basicly anythign will do.

True true.

In all actuality I'd save the money you'd spend on bars and get a street cage or rollbar.

A roll cage really doesnt stiffen the chassis all that much, it only keeps the car from crushing in a rollover. But you do NOT want to put in a rollcage, unless you plan on wearing a helmet when you drive your car...

Smacking your noggin against the cross bar doesnt feel all that good.
