The purpose of a strut bar is to prevent unwanted changes in suspension geometry as a result of body flex. A front strut bar on a McPherson strut setup is always useful, even on a road car; however its effectiveness depends on how hard you push your car and how stiff the body shell is to begin with.
As for a rear strut bar, I can't see the point of such a thing on your car because the strut towers simply house the shocks, which are not used for wheel location. In other words, rigidly locating the shocks will have little or no effect on suspension geometry.
