J's Racing rear pillar bar for EP3

Has anyone had a chance to pick one of these bars up? I've got a lower rear tower bar coming and a CTR rear sway, so I'm wondering how much more this will actually stiffen the chassis. Coming from a Prelude, this wasn't something that I was too worried about. Any info is greatly appreciated.

It will increase the chassis rigidity. You will notice a difference during mid-speed turns.

are you alleging that the Prelude has a stiffer chassis than the EP3?

No, what I was saying is that a bar like that isn't OFFERED on the Prelude. I would also assume that because of the open nature of the EP3 interior there would be more chassis flex in that area than say the Prelude, which has support braces for the trunk. I'm not comparing, so don't jump to conclusions.
