Here are pics that i never posted before on my rear strut bar set up. (Justin brand) :D
I used a dremel and carefully cut the necessary plastic only.

Justin (88Turboaccord makes them or shall i say modifies them) i got one from him and it make a big difference. I took it out for a while when i was working on my system and i just put it back in and it tightens up the back when cornering. I tried to get a DC Sports front bar but i cant find anyone with them i ordered it from Nopi but they just dropped the order and wont special order one for me. I will get one next summer..

you have in theory a large metal egg shell, with tension and whatnot from cornering this "shell" likes to bend under the stress, with bars bracing the weak points, less stress occurs and the car handles better.

I think this link has plenty of info, not sure if it'll answer your question. I red it a while ago.
