Yes, it's all worth it.... and they will all improve ride and handling in just about every aspect- but it all depends on what YOU call an "improvement". The better way to phrase a question would be to lay out what your goal/target for the car is in terms of handling, and what your budget is for suspension modification.

id like a smoother, less clunky ride, with firm handling and good cornering, especially in the rear

What would you recommend for a rear shock tower tie bar, or other upper rear bars of some kind?

I was just googling for AGXs and H&R springs, and it led me to TireRack.com.com. The price for a set of four of each adds up to about $650.

Search around.
if i were you i would buy the springs & struts separately since you could pry get a good deal that way (i got my H&R's for $200 and AGX's arent more than 340 - 375 for the set).
I have not checked this site but they usually have good deals. www.optauto.com

Calesta, once again you are dead on right. That ebay strut bar, the way it's designed, it's not going to stop any body roll. It might tie the two towers together weakly, but that's about it. I'm gonna have to break down and shell out the cash for the neuspeed upper bar.

I found a decent deal on H&R sport springs/KYB AGX shocks (struts?) on ebay from a company called Kuruma Motoring. About $520 shipped for all. Tempted...

I've got H&R Sport Springs with KYB GR2 struts, on my girl's '90 hatch, the ride is the shit and only cost about $400 shipped. I got the springs for $140 shipped and the struts for something like $250 shipped, both brand new. You will feel the road with these springs, though. It's a good setup for mostly daily driving and my girl loves it. And I hit about 15 miles of twisties with it twice a week.

BMW uses H&R springs on their cars, so I'd go out on a limb and say that they're probably better than Honda's springs.
If you keep your eye out, you can probably find a set of either H&R or Neuspeed OEM Sport Springs for the same price as the Sport Springs. The OEM Sport only lower .5" and do offer better handling than the OEM springs.
