meaning the cusco is offset from the strut towers rather than in line or connecting them. this means it doesn't provide as much lateral stiffness, and is really more for show than actual reinforcement.
yes it does provide some stiffness, but nowhere near as much as a bar that connects the two struts or is in line with them using other stiff chassis points to connect.

really?? all you have to do is loosen the 2 bolts that connect the bar to the brackets then you can access the master cylinder. Should take all of 5 minutes. Honestly though, how often are you going to need to get to open the master cylinder? I'm not saying you should get one but if that's your only reason it's a pretty easy fix!

It's good to flush the brake fluid every 2 years. Unbolting the bar will probably take a lot more than 5 min with all the cowl pieces that have to be removed.
Taking OEM strut tower bars off Acura Integras take only 5 min. Factory fitment is different from aftermarket fitment.

You only have to remove the cowl pieces when you first install the bar. Maybe you misread my post take a look at the pics and you'll see what I'm trying to say.

yeah i agree more with you, might as well install if cusco supplied you with one
both of these guys are kinda right in a way... you don't exactly need one imo, butif you have one, it literally only takes a few minutes to install if you are already doing your strut tower
