Looks great!

Two things though:

1. Did you lift both front tires totally when installing the bar? (common mistake of strut bar installation that leads to "USELESS" bar)

2. Did you adjust the bar (you use Tanabe, it can be turned to put initial tension to suspension geometry) to give you the most initial tension before you tightened all bolts (and finally the gripping bolt)?

If you done that correctly, you 'almost' never need to re-tightened those bolts again!

P.S.: Actually, the chasis is rigid enough for handling all the weight transfer and suspension flexing (or else the windshield will breaking everytime the car doing hard cornering..), but the point of strut bar is only optimising the outer suspension when cornering. A good set springs and struts (or coilover) will do so much better, and cost more of course.
