PAVELPG: stillen rear strut bar --> a little stiffer rear end, but keep in mind that you'll also be cutting into half of your trunk space
No rear strut bar from me...

Nope, nobody's making one for the damn sedan yet. God... companies must hate sedan drivers....

Stillen is selling some POS sways and that's about it... no strut. Even if Stillen is selling the sttuts, I wouldn' want to buy their rebadged POS products.

Mine is all the way down on the brackets and the brackets are as wide as they can go on the struts and the bar still rubs the hood a bit, even w/o the hood liner on. With the hood liner, if the hood is closed it's bent a bit and the hood/side panel seam is higher where the bar is.
Not sure if my case is an isolated one or not. I also had to jack the car up to get the pressure off the struts in order to fit the bar in between the brackets. Without jacking the car up, the bar was a bit too long by about 1/8 of an inch in terms of length from strut to strut. It's not all that bad; at least I know the bar is doing its job when it's nice and tight in the brackets.
Slightly disappointed with the fit, but have not gone back to make sure I can't adjust the bar any lower (although it was as low as it could go and the brackets were as wide as possible when installed).
Performance is excellent though. Waiting on my GTSpec lower chassis bars and perhaps getting a Stillen rear strut support for the back. I wish Richie made rear strut bar.
I give this mod an overall B+. When I go back to it and see if I can get it to somehow fit better and it ends up fitting perfect, I would give it an A. It's definitely stiffer in the front and works great with my Hotchkis sways set to max stiffness. Now I just need to tighten up the rest of the body, because you can really feel the front being tight compared to the back now. Or maybe I'm just imagining things.
