In keeping with common sense-Neuspeed discontinued their 27mm bar for the 4th gen Prelude because of this specific problem. THey also stopped supplying race teams with the heavy bar for the 5th gen-same reason. Seems that you need more than to just bolt up the heavy brackets-the subframe needs to be reinforced as well.
I would go with a 25mm bar without hesitation if the mounting points are truly solid. You will find that cornering is more precise versus stock, mainly if you use poly bushings.

I just got a Progress 27mm bar and it came with these thick-*** brackets. Hopefully they will hold.....*crosses fingers*
