When talking to the online community and track guys it really helps to get your terminology right, I'm having a difficult time understanding what you are talking about.
Roll over safety protection behind your head is typically just referred to as a roll bar (factory uses roll hoops).
Anti roll bar refers to the suspension component, also called sway bars or stabilizer bars.
As for a rear strut bar, the s2k is not a hatchback lol you don't need any of those chassis braces. Spend your money on seat time.

Sway bars they're not.
What the heck are sway bars, bar that promote chassis swaying?
Anti-roll bar is the correct term. NO clue who's the genius that came up with the term sway bar. If the chassis starts swaying, get it on a jig; there's something wrong

s2k is pretty solid out of the box. learn how to drive it first and then start changing things or modding.
oversteer? get an alignment, make sure your rear tires are okay until you learn the whole rwd thing and never lift off the throttle abruptly mid corner!

If a track is asking for a rollbar that custco will not pass the inspection.
Get the hard dog. Yes you can remove it after bolting it in, but you wouldn't want to remove it every day, only once you sell the car, it's semi-permanent.
