Well.. With the cage, I can jack up the car at the right rear corner (or left) and rock the car onto the right front or left rear wheel with one hand..it's pretty damn stiff.

Dunno on the strut bar, don't have one, and dunno on the swaybar, I'm staying with stock for the time being, we'll see how it runs with just 400/275s and Konis first.

I have both front and rear strut bars a noticeable difference

I like them, they came on my old car, I dont know if I would buy them right off the bat though, I would spend my money on all the hp mods first.

front strut tower greately improves chassis feeling on tighter turning (right angle and definately decreasing radius turns (offramps))

It has been a while from my strut bar Install. I do remember my Initial thoughts were a little tighter on turns, but not by much.

It's a little tighter in the turns. Feels a little less of a lean on edgey turns.
