Coulda ya beat this horse anymore? Probably. 

OK, 
#1) Neuspeed and the like brand strut bar manufacturers use the existing
upper strut bearing studs for the bar.
#2) Welding a bar would be stronger since the weld would be much stronger
than the studs.
3#) Way off? theres no way to describe in english where you are. :)

Actually, there are a few listers who are way beyond you so your ok dude.
