On the question of strut bars my understanding is they are there to control deflection of the front suspension-that is, to keep one strut moving by tying it to the other strut for additional support. Thus, the strut bar applies lateral (shear) force from one strut to the other.
And the purpose of the ETD is to control engine movement and to prevent wheelhop, which it does-I noticed a considerable improvement. And I have not noticed any additional vibrations. So, a big yes it was worth it. And the cost was in my budget whereas new engine mounts are not.
As for "shade tree stylez" well if anyone who ever has modified cars or built "hot rods" will tell you sometimes you have to make parts from scratch, or modify existing parts to make them work for your particular application.
