Well, i put KYB AGX's, Tein S-tech's, hotchkis comp. front and rear sways and hotchkis rear end links on in the fall of 04'. I love it. However i want the steering to be a little bit more tight and responsive. So i guess the only area left to look is in strut tower braces. My question is...which strut tower brace should i buy and do i need both a front and rear...thanks in advance for your help!

A good front strut bar and lower tie bar will tighten up steering significantly. RMM/APC, Carbing, and APR are the strongest front strut bars, and Cusco is the only functional lower tie bar. Adding a rear strut bar/brace will help stiffen the chassis up and make handling a bit more predictable. However, rear lower tie bars are useless.

How hard is the installation of the front lower tie bar and is it compatable with a front sway bar? Thanks for your help guys!

Just need to jack up the car, remove the underpanels and a couple bolts on the crossmember, place the bar on, and reinstall the bolts. Then you cut a couple holes in the underpanels for the bar to cross through and reinstall them, and you're done. It has nothing to do with sway bars, so you'll be fine. :)
