chassis reinforcement 200

After putting in some used turbo sway bars (the best $30 I ever spent), I'm looking for more ways to improve the handling. I guess I'm getting the bug. Outside of the first step of getting performance strut inserts, I am considering the different kinds of chassis reinforcement that are out there. To stay within my tight budget these days I will look around for the stock GT strut-to-firewall bars. And if I like that I might consider some of the other reinforcement products out there like what IPD sells.

I'm just wondering which of these is going to give me the most bang for my buck, and how these kinds of reinforcements will effect the integrity of the front crumple zone.
