how to install rear strut bar on vert?
 
Is it even possible?

Obviously you would need to do some cutting right?

Is it even worth it?

Yes, it is possible. But to answer your more broad question, cut and paste from another thread that seems to answer your question. Also lists out structural advantages Verts have over Coups:


Here you go i have a vert in aus that every thing engine, coilovers, diff, and microtech wiring harness was swaped over from a crashed coupe it all fits.
VERT FACTORY BODY MODIFICATIONS

The whole front subframe is radically stronger on the vert (in fact there are tuners in Japan that build lower subframe supports for the coupes that try and duplicate the set up).

Add in the lighter stock wheels,

Radically stronger rear side to side strut tower supports (no rear strut tower bars needed here- its built into the body).

Thicker windsheild A pillars and frame.

The built in roll bar (built into the rear top assembly- so that again the side to side rear is re-enforced weither the top is down or not).

Entire underbody frame rails are beefed up.

Floor panel vert specific

Heavy duty vert specific firewall parts

Heavy duty engine mounts

Kick panels re-enforced

Behind seats re-enforced to further prevent the body flex.

Heavy duty front stabilizer bar from the Sport/ Turbo models

Heavy duty rear stabilizer bar and bushings (vert specific)

Vert specific springs


Different than the coupe:

Front cross section (rad panel)
Front shock towers
Kick panels (including sub sections)
A pillers
Entire front suspension Sub-frame
Engine mounts.
Running boards
Lower seat back to lower B section
B pillar
B section cross bracing
Integrated roll bar (part of the top assembly, but acts a seconday build up to the B section cross bracing.
C section (as the coupe does not even have that)
Rear upper cross section
