Try http://www.toyotaparts4u.com
I just bought the TRD sway bar set for my XRS.
You get front and rear sway bar for $350.00.

I do not think strut bars will make much difference as the obove post stats the towers are part of the firewall structure and very strong already. They may provide a little on the forward most part of the towers but the added weight may offset any differences and may in fact be a negative benifit. The car is structurally very solid, I only plan on filling all the voids I can get to with a high tech (very expensive) expanding foam once all my audio,video and alarm wiring is done.

I listed MSRP from the TRD site. Saving $20US is nice (then add shipping costs)
