Are there strut bars available yet for our ride? I'm going to buy the fatter sway bar for the rear, but I really want some strut bars.

I believe that Comptech has some out for our cars right now, I also think that Spoon will have some out soon. You can check Comptech at www.comptechusa.com

Cool... definitly post your pics with your strut bars.
For the front strut bar, it looks like it will be a bitch to install.

i have heard that most don't. is this true? i am planning on getting a rear sway for sure, but if the rear strut bar won't make a difference then i won't get it. any thoughts?

Hatchbacks normally need rear strut bars more than other cars because the rear section stiffness is suffering from the open rear contruction. My guess is that a rear bar would be a great investment. On the Type R this bar is standard equipment, but I think it can be improved upon since it is a compromise between useable trunk space and rigidness.
The Type R front also has a strut bar but it is positioned very low and hardly visible. There is actually plenty of room to install a second one on the regular mounting points;)
BTW - great too see you guys in the US/Canada are already making progress with the EP

I never thought of it like that. I know that with coupes it's really just for show. You can barely tell the difference.
