Do you mean is the GSR strut bar fitment same as this DC strut.

If so, no. The GSR strut bolts onto the frame of the car above and further out from the shocks.

Oh, hmm that is a tough question to answer from just looking at the picture. It would be very close. They will probably get in the way of each other since it looks like both of the bar's height is about equally the same. This I am unsure, give it a try and post up some pictures Good luck.

Yes, since you don't have the studs on the strut tower like the GSR does, you will need to pick up nuts and bolts.

Yep, you need studs. I didn't have any, what I did was drilled two holes on each side and use bolts and nuts that I picked up from a local hardware store. Works great.

Yeah, doesn't look like you have the rubber plugs. But there should be two indentations on each strut tower to let you know where to drill.

The picture you posted up about the rubber plug looking thing is not the hole where you should drill.

If you are standing in front of you motor looking straight into the cabin. Look at your shock stud on your driver side, to the right of that you will see empty space on your red frame; it's kind of elevating slope upwards. If you hit your clip for your windshield hose you've gone too far. I guess I would say it's between the windshield hose clip and shock stud. There should be two indentation of holes there. Same on the other side. Once you buy the GSR strut you can see where it fits.

But why are you putting on two strut bar?? It will not make much difference. Pick and use one.
