40-50 lbs is a huge concern only if your car is pushing 100whp =P
I don't think adding a bar would make Justin's car noticeably slower, and the benefit of the strength... especially based on what DJ is saying about DSMs... probably drastically outweighs the minor drawback of a little added weight. Besides, you can make up most of that weight differential by swapping out smaller, lightweight wheels for track days.
