If you're talking about a Civic with a JRSC, the new IM that the SC is bolted to is still at the same height as the stock one; it just places the TB a little closer to the passenger's side frame. Any strut bar will work in that case. If it is a Civic with a Vortech, well, any strut bar will work, too, since the bulk of it is placed where the airbox was. The aftercooler shouldn't be too much of a hinderance, either.

I always recommend Neuspeeds, though, because if you're ever worried about the bar getting in the way of piping going to the TB, the Neuspeed unit places the bar over the engine more than over the TB. That's why a lot of D16Y7 people need to use the Neuspeeds because they have that vertical TB instead of a traditional horizontal one on the Y5/Y8.
