I found the TRD front strut bar for $299. Does anybody know anywhere that sells it for cheaper.

I believe you can use a matrix strut bar for the back and modify the holes.

They'll work, but will require some modest modifications. If you guys are VERY interested, come up with a price considering the retail price of the Matrix bars on eBay after shipping and I'll see if I can churn some up for you guys. Remeber, the price on eBay is roughly 15 for the bar, 12-15 shipping. Make it worth my while...;]

The Corolla front also will work, but you'll really only need to drill 2 holes, otherwise the Bar will not clear the power steering resivoir (on the ST at least). Just look under your engine-bay and guesstimate... I'm probably gonna order another and re-weld the points for a perfect fit sometime when I have time...;]

This is what my Rear mount looks like... completely re-done

This is the front... I drilled 3 holes... but realised ony 2 will fit, while the thrid will leave it too low. Also note, that the bar BARELY clears the hood... I mean, it basically almost touches; depending on your installation, It might even touch, but that isn't a relaly big deal either way.
