Don't be too sure, the strut bar does do something...

A poster had problems with dash creaks. His SA tried everything and the OEM strut bar was suggested and installed after which the problem was solved. So obviously the bar does offer some degree of strenghtening, enough to quell the poster's dash creak issue which, to me, sounds like chassis flex.

I can imagine the more robust looking RD bar to exact even more effect on rigidity, but it looks like a PITA everytime you need to change or top up oil.
