Rear Strut Bar

2 things, first, does anyone notice a great improvement by adding a rear strut bar over just a front?

2nd, does anyone have pictures of this installed in their trunk? im working on building a custom amp set up for the trunk of my coup, but i want to make sure it does not interfere with a possible future strut bar.

Thanks!!

I know a couple of the JDM guys that have the rear strut bar, they wouldn't be without one. I'd have one but I need room for my carcover and golf clubs....

Your not going to feel a difference by adding one. They're supposed to reduce the amount of flex on the unibody. These combined with underbody braces may work, or just install a full roll-cage for best results.

I have GTspec front and back strut bars. The car feels tighter on the highway BUT I dont know how it feels without the rear because I installed them at the same time.

FYI... it pretty much cuts the already same trunk in half.

Using carpet shampoo would be easier since you can remove it. Results should make it like new....
