The more rigid a chassis is, the less flex you have over all, the less weight transfer you get, the less body roll.. etc etc. Any improvements to the rigidity of a vehicle, are an improvement as far as I am concerned.
To answer the question to the original post here, It's always fun to experiment, so I say go ahead and see what you can come up with. How ever, I wouldn't spend the time to engineer something such as that on your own, because it would only be for you, and possibly only for looks if it is not engineered correctly. Strut bars we can buy on the aftermarket today, are tried and somewhat true. I would assume just buy a solid bar and call it a day if you really want to have one.
I understand not wanting the weak point ghetto ones that people buy on ebay, but even those work to a good degree. They stiffen up over time when installed correctly, and do their job "as well as any other" to the unknowing person who purchases it before they learn about a potential longer lasting "one piece" Strut tower brace / bar.
On a contradicting note here.. I was thinking about which could be better a why, and although the threads on the screw together bars seem like a weak point, they are probably no more susceptible to damage then if you were to have a 1 piece bar with crappy welds on it. In a way, they both have their own weakness.
