I don't want to be a smartass but how did you know you needed a strut bar unless you had a problem before. I would take it to the same place that you had a problem with! Otherwise it is purely cosmetic and you wouldn't need to test it!

take it to 90degree turns and then just take them hard and you'll feel the front is stiffer

x2. Strut bar's effects are really only noticeable during high spped/at the limit turns. Otherwise, there's no difference.
