Much easier than all the machining and welding required with all the aftermarket bars.
Think it was built like that for strength.after market is like 10 to 8 bolts holding up the strut bar. The cup car strut bar is only 4 bolts attached to a welded mount.

Racing Dynamics strut tower bar for the N/A and the 951 are different. Each had their own unit.

Yea but those bolts should be tight, and the bar would be permanently deformed before it saw enough tensile load to lift the machined ends from the strut tower.
