Are you trying to make some sort of double strut bar? I don't know if it's possible, I guess if there is a will there is a way.

NO, whats the point. More structual stibility? If you wanted that you should have gone with a more purpose built piece.

It should be noted that strut bars offer lateral support, thus the amount of flex doesn't necessarily repersent how well it will function. Also note that the bar connects two points of the chassis for more rigidity and the more points that you connect along with these two using the same subframe piece (in this case the strut bar), then the more structurally rigid the car will be, thus making strut bars from makers like Benen and Carbing very good options.

And unless you see heavy track abuse, the ITR bar should be more than you will ever need.

if you got the dc one already, just use it, invest in a good sets of swaybars.
much better investment than strut bar.

I have to agree. Sway bars will help define how the car handles, strut bars just make it stiff.
