Default STRUT BAR Suggestions

I am looking to get front strut bars for my 99 GS 3. Any one have any suggestions or ideas of which ones i should get. and should i get the front and rear? Brands and names would help a lot. And where would be the best places to get the cheapest price. ???

RMM on 2001 GS300....needed to remove engine cover....otherwise it'll rub. Bluelex has the same bar...on his 99 GS300....but he was able to keep the cover....Im thinking the pre-2000 V6 engines sit a bit lower.
