No you don't need the bushing kit to install the front upper strut bar.

I thought the bushing kit was for the sway bar. not the strut bar.

The Neuspeed bushing kit is for the Front LOWER. But you need the upper before you install the bushing kit. There was a post over in the suspension forum about the bushings stiffening up the suspension enough to buckle the roof of the car.

I still dont think the polyurethane sway bar bushing can cause something drastic like that. it does stiffen things up, but I duno by that much. sheesh.

anyhow, the polyurethane bushing kit is for the front sway bar.. which is below ur car, on the lower control arm.
