If you're talking about the strut tower bar that goes over your front suspension in the engine bay, keep the stock one. The other ones available are predominantly for aesthetics.
If you are looking to upgrade your sway bar, you can upgrade the rear one with the Progress unit. They make the thickest RSB for our cars. I don't recommend that you upgrade your front sway bar, because that will promote understeer.

The strut bar helps tremendously, I had a article saved somewhere, but it reduces body roll by a lot.
RV6 strut bar is most likely sold the most and richie's customer service is top notch.
RSB, Suspension, and strut bar helps a lot, and will "feel" like you're driving a true sports car.

We've got a huge vocabulary problem here.
Strut- The TL does not have a strut on it. It uses shocks.
Strut bar- Braces the frame between the shock towers. Also should be called a shock tower brace but strut bar is so widely used, I give up. Has nothing to do with the suspension. It's a frame stiffener. There is no point to going aftermarket as far as performance is concerned.
Swaybars- A torsional spring, part of the suspension, reduces bodyroll, decreases the independence of the independent suspension (not good) but changes handling balance greatly so choose wisely or you will be slower around the corners than stock.
OP- Search is your friend.

If you lower your car, you will rub more. The only way to resolve the rubbing with your current set up is to roll your fenders. If you really love your wheels, make the car fit the wheel.
