You missed what I was trying to convey. I wasn't saying that adding a rstb is a bad idea. What I was trying to point out is the comment that it made the rear more "planted" is not something most fwd guys want. For most of us, the goal is to loosen up the rear.
The point of a strut bar is to limit chassis flex. In particular, it reduces positive camber when cornering hard....which is good thing in terms of tuning. The more rubber contact the better. The balancing of that contact front and rear is the tricky part. And that's typically done with other components and alignment settings.
