check out engineerboy's strut bars. I got mine from him although he is from the US. He fabricates them along with tie bars and sway bars. He is a registered vendor here on Evom and there's a few recent threads that he started on the vendor classified forum for the US Lancer. Good work for the price. US$50 each.
You'd have to talk to him about shipping. I also live in Missisauga if you want to check out the one he did for me.

dont buy vibrant or areospeed cause you have to cut and weld to fit it right.
i bought the areospeed and i had to do that unless you take out the crusie control off

mchowster, I have the RRM front K-bar, and engineerboy's rear strut bar. At the time when I got the front, engineerboy wasn't making them, which is why I got it from RRM.

IMO, the RRM bar looks more solid simply because it bolts down to two of the struts instead of 3, but a strut bar reduces flex across the body of the car left/right and not front/back, so engineerboy's bar will do fine.

If you've got a system in your trunk, another consideration is his tie bar, which doesn't take up any trunk space.

Hope that helps.
