It ties the strut towers together and, in theory, transfers loads from one to the other and increases chassis rigidity.
I've never noticed a difference with or without one. We use one on the race car mostly to hold SS oil lines and wiring.

Ya i cant tell either, i tried to find some indication of welds along the strut mounts. All i can see are the bolts from the struts/coilovers.
You know i couldnt tell any difference at all with a strut bar on a NA miata, DA integra, and EK civic. but i felt a world of difference on a S14, FC3S, and 2g eclipse. i Guess it really depends on the car.
