Subframe Question... Additional parts required?

Did a search without any luck.

When doing a Kswap, is the EP3/DC5 subframe the ONLY piece needed?

ie: the following pic has a rod that goes across the subframe. Is this needed as well?

That bar doesnt connect to the sub frame. Its the Stock strut bar and has no place to bolt up on the "lesser" civics.

Excellent. I was hoping that was the case from the "see-through" pic of the car above.
