Default Strut bar?

Okay, I was just removing the strut bar I made in shop class from my car to clean up the engine bay and my pops tweaked on me for doing talking about how my front end will get ****ed up. I own a 1990 CRX Si with the CRX SiR B16a engine in it. I've seen K series CRX's with no strut bar. So what I'm asking is do I need a strut bar. All honest I doubt my torque-less wonder will **** up my car. I just want to be sure.

I would say you don't need an strut bar it's always good to have one if you have an car form japan because it would stop the car form flexxing so much.

You do not need a strut bar.

But our cars are pushing 20 years old and the chassis tends to flex. Even the Ebay bars will make a difference in the turn in feel. Honda started to add OEM strut bars to many other cars a few years after the EF.
