Is there a real benefit putting a front strut bar on the FK8 or just plain aesthetic? Thanks in advance.

From research, mostly aesthetic. Some people have given the 27won and Perrin bars some good reviews because they are single pieces (instead of the bar with a hinge on each end). I could be mistaken but I think if you notice any difference, it could be minimal.

Nothing crazy will happen. There’s a lot of choices out there as well. When I did buy mine, I noticed a lot of people used the Cusco model.

Look at the Type R engine bay - notice that the strut towers are integrated into the firewall? The firewall acts as the brace. There is no benefit to adding a bar to this chassis. The same is true for a car like the S2000 with the X-bone frame - in other words, Honda didn’t just leave the bar off to cut costs, it’s completely unnecessary.
