(Please do not flame me) but i feel the best bar you can get is Aussie bar because it's stronger and lighter than any other bar becase it's made of strong light weight mandrel bent aluminum tubing (very thick tubing at that). If you do a seach for the original Aussie bar post(s) there is one were the stiffness of the different bars are are compaired vs over stock. and did i mention it's also lighter than the stock bar...
As far as the front bar goes it's not needed much because the front struts are so close to the firewall that there is not much flex in the frame there. Because the firewall provieds the needed stiffness.
If you go for one of the stiffer bars you should go for an upgraded bracket.
For tires i have potenza se950's and they rock.
