now the problem is I want a strut bar thats reliable and can fit the sr20 because in the long run...why not. i have stock suspension but i figured i should wet my appetite with a small upgrade and then get shock and springs well have fun voting

p.s. reasoning behind what you choose is welcomed thanks

I didn't vote anything because you didn't have "Save for coilover" option.

+1 LOL... funny but so true. Strut bars are worthless without stiffer suspension... and it doesn't get any stiffer than coils

I assure you, if you see no reason for coilovers, you dont need a strut bar. Start buying bushings and heim joints instead.

going for used coilovers is unadvisable, as they are probably very old and might have leaks, you'll just end up paying more. buy an entry level coilover, it wouldnt be as stiff. or spring shock combo. strut bars dont really do much on street driving. unless you drive your car on the streets to the limit that you feel your chassis needs more stiffening.

suspension first

strut bar should be the last thing you do, because itll help the least

Agreed. I think you should just save up and get dampeners/springs or coilovers first. Then you an get any of the other supporting suspension upgrades if you feel it needs to be more stiff/flat
