Don't expect too much comparing the Comptech to the stock strut bar, but you will feel the difference in the Koni for sure.

Thanks

the only thing is that the rear shocks are in National Backorder... I guess that would give me time to save up some money

It's good, good for looks. It's better than none, but no better than stock as far as improving handling. However, it's also the only aftermarket replacement strut bar which provides factory mounting for all existing brackets. Therefore, it has a factory look as well.

I have the Strut and Sway...I could feel the Strut, but it was NOTHING like the effects of the Rear Sway.....go for the Koni's
I am about to get some kind of coilover kit, or maybe just the Pro-Kit to finish off the suspension.

wouldn't the strut bar affect differently in combination with various set up types (stock, springs+shocks, coilovers etc..???).

Strut bar = No, Sway bar = Yes.

as said before, the strut bar isn't too noticable. I have the Neuspeed and can only recommend it becaues its cheap, but it doesn't have the factory look. For $90, the tighter turning feel was worth it.
