ok first of all the strut bar is only for aesthetic purposes, it will not help your handling at all. also, there is no such thing as a rear strut bar. i would suggest getting only the rear sway bar to decrease understeer. eibach is good, but the best is ottp, they have a 1" street bar and a 1.25'' hardcore bar

Front strut bar makes a minimal difference, go with the Powell either hardcore or street bar, either one is better than the progressive, Eibach's are a waste of money on the FE5 suspension, IIRC the front bar is either the same size or only 1mm larger than stock and the front bar is a PAIN to get out. Not worth the time and money IMO.

Whenever you're due for new shocks/struts, upgrade to the SS/TC shocks and struts and Pedders springs. But that's a lot of money to drop "just because".
