Default Subframe brace with ST rear sway bar?

I bought an ST bar for my EG hatch, and sure hope it's gonna fit. Search says it does, but all the info is so old that all the image links are dead.

I see these:

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/can-suspension-techniques-ek-rear-sway-work-asr-subframe-2133706/

It seems like it should work, based on that, but can any kind soul confirm (perhaps with accompanying pics) that it will? I'm gonna have to redo the rear section of my exhaust to clear the bushings, since the Yonaka stuff is in the way, but if the rest bolts up I will be happy. The Truhart brace I have apparently uses the stock mount points, but does space things back a bit, so I'm a scoche worried without seeing/hearing that it actually works.

Will this thing fit?

Long story short, it doesn't. It contacts the rear strut bodies so it won't work.

The posts were both about the 'ek', not the 'eg'.
