I'm curious as to how the larger bar would serve a greater benefit, given that the mounting points on the strut towers are identical.

I've been thinking about it, and I can't see any real benefit to the larger bar, aside from aesthetics.

If the mounting points were solid, and not adjustable, the larger bar would reduce flexion, and add rigidity.

As it stands, the adjustable ends are the weak link, unless I am missing something?

It's probably in the flex, the transfer of the forces. The wider bar would probably resist more against twising rather than the thiner one. The rev2 CS is based off the MS bar. I went straight to the MS bar, but I've read on many who have switch from the reg smaller (eBay) style to the rev2 CS and noticed a significant difference. Some people with the smaller strut tower bar noticed little to no difference to begin with. When I couldn't fit my CS bar on my ZE I really missed it, it made a big difference for me and was SO glad to have it back on.

Rolling on coils you can definitely feel the difference. I ended up pulling my rear bar out just for a more comfortable ride. I think I noticed more rigidity in the RS as it is lacking key components in the suspension. For me there was a clear difference is the CS bar from the ebay adjustable.

Early on CS had a rear adjustable that adjusted in the middle of the bar. I would suspect that this had more rigidity over their current adjustable as it only had one point of weakness vs two.
