I went ahead and placed a $9.99 bid for the rear bar... Figure for 30 bucks I won't be out much if it works or not. I'll let ya all know if I win or not.

I've thought about putting these on but have never messed around with braces like these. I have a couple of quesions. Does it stiffen the chassis that much? How noticeable is it compared to a strut tower bar??

None. You won't notice a strut bar on a street car.

With a rear beam like we already have, what is going to be moving down there? The bottom will not twist do to the beam... If it were in your trunk connecting the struts I woulod say go for it... Kinda a waste of $30 if you ask me...

Yea, you are the 1 in 100,000 that would actually notice the .1 % difference on a car with relatively no other mods.

It is a waste to spend money on "Name brands" for parts like this. They are all basically the same.
