HPP rear & OMP front. Very noticable difference.

As far as I know the SHO Shop's front bar as been criticized for the way it attaches to the tops of the struts. I think most people feel it really doesn't help. The OMP brace is probably the one to get though. Pretty cheap and it looks pretty good. Takes a little work to put it in though since you have to drill the strut towers.

I put a read strut in my tour and noticed a huge diff. in the turns. esp. off throttle, it almost handels like a rwd car. and at part throttle in long turns its much more neutral, doesnt have that urge just to push thru the turn anymore, def. worth the money, Now getting a front is def. not on my list of things to buy being it would counteract the rear bar. Just my 2cents. Im far from a suspension expert just played alot of gt2

Do the OMP ones conflict with a (zetec) CTA intake?

No. The CTA can be moved out of the way.
