Well those yanks with their MKII's seem to swear by both front and rear bars and beleive both make vast improvements.
Im just wondering if you hit a point whereby your car has so little body flex that you start lifting wheels through corners if you brace it in such a fashion.
And what do people think about the difference between the straight strut bar and the one that bolts to the firewall?

Well you know what the Yanks are like... if it's shiny and has a brand-name sticker on it, it MUST be good!
Ideally there should be no body flex whatsoever; all of the compliance should be in the suspension. If you start lifting wheels it's because your suspension is too stiff, not because your body is too stiff! Have a look at all the cross-bracing they put in WRC cars, V8 Supercars, etc. They wouldn't put all that extra weight in there if it wasn't doing something!
Triangulated strut bars are a good thing because they locate the struts longtitudinally as well as laterally. If you have room to fit one, go for it!
