Default Strut Bar Help!

Hi I have an RSX-S, Suspension wise I already have the Progress front and rear sway bars, Progress lower tie bar, Spoon Front strut bar, and a custom made rear strut bar (its pretty solid, SS w/ TIG welds; it mounts at the same place the mugen one does)..oh and ground control coilovers

Anyways my question is, If i should put on the Spoon Rear Strut bar as well, it mounts where the shocks come up, like most strut bars do. I was wondering how this would affect my suspension set up and if it would be a good thing or a bad thing

I have attached some pics to show you what i mean the yellow bar in the second pic is where the Spoon sturt bar would go and it mounts along the floor of the trunk where the circles are.

additional chassis bracing never hurts, it can only help (unless you're freaking about about weight savings).

i've heard around that, for the price, rear struts aren't very beneficial (well, for the price of sp00m ones)

well, i got a good price on the spoon ones, and yes i know that struts do not make as much a difference as sways, but i happened upon a good deal for the spoon ones, so i didn't want to pass it up

Also the strut bar i have now is made by D3 designs

If you already have the D3 on why spend more money for a spoon one? Is the spoon any better than the D3 as far as function ? Or do you just want a "SPOON" bar?
