It's up to you. What are you looking for? BTW, this should be in the suspension section!
For front Strut Bar, I like OEM, for swaybars, I like H&R. Danny

OEM Strut Bar is a DIY for $200, takes 10 minutes to install and makes a solid difference.
Curious if others have opinions on thicker Sway Bars. Aren't our sway bars dynamic anyway to actively help reduce body roll? |

a sway bar connects left and right suspension bits, under the car sway bars affect handling, strut bars increase body rigidity but don't change handling characteristics go look at www.bavauto.com or something to see the difference they dont' do the same thing at all |

For those new to the forum, welcome. This is a great place to get quick info about our cars. You should also consider using the search function. Type in "Sway Bar," "Strut Bar," "Anti-Roll," etc. There's plenty of info posted and already discussed in recent months with photos, installs, technical info, etc.
