Welcome bro!
From the ones I've seen, GT SPEC, Cusco, Tom's, and an Ebay one floating around. A lot of us are running the Cusco Front Strut Bar and a few with the Cusco Rear Strut Bar.
PM b2designs he may still have some in stock, he is one of the vendors on here. GL and happy modding bro!

You can add Icode bling titanium bar to the list. Been eyeing one from Carson Toyota but didn't want to fork out the 650 for one.

The strut bars look great but not sure they provide any functional purpose.

Most do not have much functionality because they have pivot points at the nuts/bolts. A better choice would be a one piece unit like the TOM'S.

I can definitely feel the difference during high speed turns. I’ve done a track day at VIR with and without the bar. My turn in was significantly better. So in my experience it works. For everyday street driving you won't feel anything at all. Even with spirited runs on the on ramps.

To my knowledge, unless the car were experiencing some type of chassis flex, it wouldn't be doing much.
