aftermarket strut bar are mainly for looks. they won't do anything much different than the oem bar.
if plan on getting a plenum or plenum spacer, your choices of strut bars are limited.

for one thing the JIC strut bar is wrapped in CF, If you want a really nice one get a greddy or cusco strut bar, but if you got money to burn get a ARC Ti strut bar, they are really nice.

So what you guys are saying is that there are no aftermarket strut bars that are stronger than the stocker? I need something to clear my AAM spacer and I want something noticably stronger than stock....

The design of the OEM strut brace is debatable. The brace does not attach to the top of the strut. You may as well refer to the strut brace as a strut tower brace. Consider also that the OEM brace is bent, and a straight piece of metal would be stronger. Since the brace must fit over the plenum, I believe that the design is as good as it needs to be.
