Advice on STRUT BAR !!!

The strut bar will probably be one of the easiest mod to add. There is a host of companies out there that make strut bars.
Just to name a few:
AC Schnitzer (ACS)
Active AutoWerke (AATuning)
Dinan
UUC Motorwerks
Racing Dynamics
Personally I would go with Dinan, but any will do. Installation requires removing 6 bolts and installing the strut bar.

No. You will not get a "tighter steering wheel" from a strut bar under normal and moderate driving conditions.
Under *hard* cornering, the strut towers flex slightly and the alignment goes out a bit, causing the steering to be less precise. The strut bar simply distributes the flex stress to both towers equally & keeps the front wheels sync'ed in alignment during hard cornering, and to a much less degree, on very rough roads.
Under normal everyday driving conditions, you will not notice a difference, unless you drive cloverleafs at 80+ mph on a regular basis, or make a habit of high speed escapes from the police.
You will notice it if you run autocross or other forms of racing, and they do look nice under the hood.
