front sway bar, upper front strut bar, or both??

i'm looking into purchasing these to upgrade my suspension but up until now i thought you just needed a front strut bar and a rear-anti sway bar, but looking online i've noticed they sell front and rear anti-sway bars in packages, and additionally a strut bar. anyone know if i should go with one or the other or all three?? thanks

a freshly installed s3 and freshly re-built ankle,but the clutch will win..that mo'fo is stiff from the beggining until it breaks in..usually around 800 miles or so starts to get softer

You have the eibach sway bars?? I thought those didn't exist (they have been in R&D for over 2 years)??

i was thinking about when i finish my tune to bump the idle up some so i wont have to worry about gasing and clutching together i can just reach over and slowly let out the clutch with my right foot...but i can forsee a nasty situation in socal where i should have 2 feet lol
