That said, my $178 pair of strut bars was delivered today.

Agreed. Worry about a stiffer spring and better shocks and then worry about the accessories like sway and strut bars.
I am strut bar free, so they aren't necessary to have great handling. I do, however, have a 22mm rear sway/tie bar with a nice set of springs/shocks.
Let me know how the tune goes, since I am in the process of tuning mine. Are you running uberdata?
