i doubt you will ever find a rear strut bar for our cars because of the fact that the spring and shock are separated

and if you think about it from a mechanical stand point the bar would have to be at the spring it self and even the it probably wouldn't do anything other then take up trunk space

This chasis is way stronger than previous civic platforms. There is reason to stiffen it w/ strut tower bars. This is 1 of the reasons why the new CTR is sooo fast on track.

progress swaybar will help a little bit, i highly recommend one
bracing bars wont help that much, they may make the frame a little more stiff but not by much.
springs/coilovers will definitely help, dont forget your control arms.

J's Racing makes a brace that connects the two shocks together as well as other braces, and Cusco makes several braces for our cars as well. All of these braces were designed for the four door type-r, but should work on our cars. The ones for the rear seem especially interesting, because I know my car flexes when I pull into my driveway, or hit on ramps that have a big change in angle from the regular road... just a thought. You will have to check the japanese sites for both of these companies, but all of the domestic importers have assured me that these braces will be available within the next couple of months. Specifically Nukabe and Bulletproof... they seem to be the most reliable.
