The NASIOC Suspension FAQ has a lot of information in it about things like this. If you have the time, be sure to skim over it.

Have a look at ultrex.com.au. We did front/ rear struts and a h brace very easy install once I got the back seat out, much to hubbies entertainment ...mine have made a world of difference...

Strut braces are not really needed on a GD.
I'd be installing sway bars first.

Agreed - sway bars are a much better investment.
Strut bar is much more useful when installed with lower arm / H bracing. Surprisingly, in the later 2000's Subaru they went to a brace with "flexibility" both top and bottom strut / lower arm bars.

Also going to agree to this.
In my previous ride (08 wrx) I had the lower control arm brace (H brace) and the strut tower brace and I only noticed a slight difference (with sways on at the same time). In my current ride, the change experienced when putting in bigger/better sway bars was huge! Start with sways and you won't be disappointed
