I have a suggestion for you. Why not use the existing nuts to bolt the struts into the towers like a standard installation. Then put your strut bar on top of those nuts (preferably with washers between bar and nuts) then put another nut and washer on top of each strut thread to attach the bar. This should give you an adjustable height depending on the number of washers used, a secure strut and the nut/washer combination will give added strength to the threads attaching the bar. BTW it seems to me that just using washers will effectively give you larger diameter strut threads to take the lateral load anyway. Once you tighten the nuts properly the nut washer combo effectively becomes one because of the frictional forces anyway. If this is for street driving, washers should do the trick.
