I'm wondering what the real-world benefit of this would be. I get what the rear sway bar does, but this seems dubious at best--mostly because it only anchors two points.

BASICALLY, its for looks and takes away from your cargo area........

It really has serves no purpose other than looking cool. If the car actually had STRUTS on the back, maybe it would have an effect, but mounting it to the top of the rubber mounted shocks doesn't do anything.

it DOES hold my grocery bags nice and sturdy for that ride home....

Why would anyone put it there? I'd rather have it underneath the car where it belongs.

I don't even think it looks cool. To me it looks plain stupid. Sorry, but maybe I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

It's ok, I think it looks dumb too, I was just being nice about it.

I have a C-one brace and it sits on metal, I had to remove the rubbers. It has the hole barely big enough to fit the shock through..i'll post pics when i get the chance.

your c-one does mount differently then my gt spec or any others ive seen! BUT according to TAMAGO its still useless....

enviri · 08-11-2011, 10:44 AM
