Default stock strut bar?

does anybody know if the bar in this picture (#23) that comes stock (apparently) on a 5th gen accord V6 will bolt up, with or without minor modifications, to a 5th gen 4cyl?

i knew the v6s were longer, but they're not wider, and they share front suspensions. oh well...

did the jdm CD6 SiR come with a front strut bar?

for the price...why not jsut buy aftermarket?you can get em for $25 and up, and they will be even more solid than the stock piece.

i'm still in search of a decent front strut bar for the 5th gen accord.

cusco: thick bars, but hinged at the strut mounts
neuspeed: they just look so tiny.
okuyama carbing: still can't find out if they make 'em for accords
benen: they told me in development
APR: look tough, but reminds me too much of APC
Mugen: only fits "6th gen" JDM SiR-T, and EURO R
DC: poop
tanabe: see cusco.
all other "ebay specials": see DC.

ok, okuyama carbing makes a type I (not connecting to firewall) bar for CE1 and CF2 accord (5th gen) wagons. since these never came in a V6 version, the engine bays should be almost identical right? can someone who drives a 5th gen wagon confirm that the front bars are interchangeable between the sedan/coupe and the wagon?
