khumo are poo
i had some pirelli P6000 185/60/14's on mine and they were really good.
but have been hearing good things about toyos new performance stuff, i guess its always a matter of compromise between wear and grip ie soft or hard compound rubber
re the rear strut bar, it made a noticeable difference when cornering hard, turn in is improved and mid corner stability is also improved, it "feels" as in the car is just more rigid and not twisting, its hard to describe but it make a difference you can feel well on my car it has anyway. minees a cs-x with lowered industrial springs twinky front strut and sway bars. I made up the strut brace myself with some mild blue square steel stuff you can get from bunnings for about $20 plus a couple pieces of plate steel, then cut and drilled the plate pieces in to little U shapped things with holes for the strut bolts then arc welded em to the steel rod. just make sure you get your measurements right, measure thrice cut once 
if you want pics drop me a line ill try n take some n post em up.
I wouldnt go the industrial springs again, mine were 50mm lower at front and 55-60mm lower at back but it reduced the travel so much that you hit the bump stops on big bumps and it really jars the body, plus they are bloody stiff! they were the heavy duty items i think it was $190 a set. personally if i was going to do it again i would get some good progressive rate springs and maybe lower it 25mm max and have them a little bit stiffer than std twin cam springs, just to help stop body roll, i'm anti body roll, its a car not a boat damnit! lol
Cheers
