I would not advise attaching a harness to the RSTB, both because of it's location and how it's usually secured (usually not welded in). You need a bar behind the seats running between the B-pillars if you want a bar, though there are other less permanent ways to install a harness correctly.

This bar would not be suitable.
You could use a welded strut bar as a harness bar, but then that would probably break the rules in a lot of classes.

Flip down or remove the rear seat, yo!

Alright, yeah, I agree, one not welded in or super secure like an ST200 would not make sense. I was just kicking ideas around, i'm still interested nonetheless.

Alright, well I am definitely in. I was wondering, since it looks like it just keeps tention in the towers by pushing them out, would there be a benefit to putting bolts/nuts through the tower to make sure it never moves or gets loose in a tough turn?

I don't think our towers move THAT much! I had one on my first Contour & ran it hard. No problems with it moving at all, so you should be just fine.
If you don't have enough compression to keep the bar in place, or your towers flex so much that the bar gets loose, then you've got problems a bar will not help and should have you car checked out before it splits in half.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
