I went ahead and took the plunge into this little project. The pics are below also you will have to right click and save as to view. I basically used the same parts as Omar but I used a 5/8in turnbuckle. To adjust preload all I have to do is rotate the turnbuckle. However a set of left and right hand nuts would do the same job and be alot cheaper. Just like everyone else is saying there is a definite difference in the handling of the car. The best I can describe the change is that the car rotates alot quicker. Otherwise it has reduced the under-steer quite abit. FYI my se-r has full ES suspension bushings, FSTB, RSB, AGX + eibachs, stillen G load brace.
Also I had to cut the bracket about 3/4in from the bottom and fold it to get the bar to fit good. Even though it doesn't look good it gets the job done. Without telling anyone no one even knows it is there, I couldn't feel it through the seat and niether did anyone else. To me this rstb made more of a difference than the addco rsb I have, however I think I have endlinks that need to be replaced. Otherwise its a nice home depot mod ;).
