For those of you w/ the Neuspeed Strut Bar

Did anyone take out the stock engine-firewall brace so that the bar doesn't rub against it? Or can you do that without affecting the ride?

It is a tight fit but you should definitely leave the stock strut bar on and just put the Neuspeed one behind it.

I think I remember reading in the forum as well, that TAKING the Original Tie Bar off and Leaving it off, is NOT recommended. The Bar should fit with the STOCK Tie Bar, no problem.

I figured. It fits fine, I just don't like the fact that the two bars are touching each other. Could scratch up the chrome bar

Why is another one needed? Or wanted? How does the CL-S benifit from it? Will I notice a difference with one, & without?

The car with the extra strut bar makes your car more sturdy. You get better handling.

DITTO!! The Neuspeed alone is NOT sufficient. The OEM bar doesn't scratch the Neuspeed up (as far as I can see), and several hanging "thingies" are attached onto the OEM bar.
