Brand suggestions?

In between a few brands for strut tower bars. Been reading through the forums and have found a few I like but just wondering what you guys are using currently and your thoughts and reviews are?

Already have sway bars, LCAs, Camber plates, and toe arms

I think you'll get more response if you modify the title of the thread to include the words 'strut tower bar'.

I use a Radium strut tower bar and find it be well made and well thought out, although I'm going to sell it soon because it covers the top strut mounts and prevents access to adjustment mechanism on the RaceSeng CasCam plates I'm installing next.

Not everyone agrees with the benefits provided by a strut tower bar and I learned a lot while reading this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109691

If you are tracking the car, check for a solid one. Cusco strut bar comes to my mind. Otherwise, you want the bar to be stiff in certain directions and not in others. In this case, you can check the STi flexible tower bar or some earlier Cusco carbon fiber strut bars.
