Rear Strut bar??
Can you measure any deflection of the rear strut towers under cornering? If you can, they would help. I like GRM's take on strut bars. They are often more for looks than anything really helpful.
Fairly simple, just fabricate and install something that will generate some witness marks. You can fasten a rod of mostly the correct length and use clay on one end to determine the amount of compression. With most strut bar setups that surround the bolt, you can use clay there to determine exactly how much deviation you have. It will probably depend a bit on the rest of your chassis and presence (or lack) of a sunroof.
GRM's simplistic method was to use some paint and look for transfer. That won't tell you how much, but it gives you a quick indication if it is doing anything at all.

Our rear uses a multi-link suspension design. There is no lateral load applied to the struts during cornering. A strut bar is going to do basically nothing back there. Your better off connecting the rear upper a-arm mounting points together with a bar.
