RareJDM Rear Strut Bar Review

Well first I need to thanks to beebo for selling it to me for a good price

Overall, it was a easy install, hardest part was taking out the trunk interior pieces and cutting them to fit over the brackets.

Here are some pics of the Brackets bolted in..





Here are some pics of the Bar in place with the cut interior pieces.



Pros:
  • Stiffened up the rear so it stopped the moaning and creaking when I go up and down the driveway
  • Adjustability of the stiffness

Cons:
  • Paint on the Brackets had some bubblies
Overall:
  • Its worth the money in every way

Thanks for looking!

In my opinion it defiantly felt stiffer, but I haven't had the time to really see how much it has changed the performance

were the 2 holes where the brackets are bolted up already there or did you have to drill those out?

I love mine. I was the first Sedan with this RSTB, did some testing of it during daily driving for a couple months and on an autocross course. It definitely stiffens the rear end and makes the car feel more under control when you hit a bump in the road and in the turns.

Thanks for taking the time to do a review! Not sure if you got the stickers with the bar, but if you pm me your mailing address, I'll send a couple out to you.
