I want to install a strut bar in the rear of my car, But I love how pristine my interior is and don't really want to cut up my car. At the same time I would love to have less chassis flex. Does anyone have any clean photos of a rear strut bar installed?

 

there was a thread about this last week or so... it should be either on this page or the next.

 

I can't find it. Can someone please post a link if there is a thread on the same subject or post a photo.

 

With these bars you don't have to cut the interior. You just need two little holes to pass the screws.
(someone correct me if i'm mistaken)

most of them just require a hole in the carpetting just big enough for the bar to pass through(cusco style).

Other than that just search for "strut bar". Be wary of cheap-o e-bay parts. I ordered some strut bars off of there and they fitment was way off. I had to grind down part of the hoop that goes over the strut tower, it barely fits, and is about 1/4" from my alternator and water filler neck. I'd search around and see what everyone is really happy with before making a purchase.

With that said and done, I hear a lot of good things about the TC Sportline stuff. I don't own them myself, but kinda wish I would have waited instead of getting some ebay parts.

I'm sure that one is going to call for even more fabrication then the cheaper ebay one, I doubt you'll be able to still have speakers as well.

No cutting or fabbing. "Just bolt and go" as quoted from the thread.

 

Yes, ebay ones call for some dremeling as went for the ebay front strut bar I have installed. What sounds more pleasing... 15 minutes of modification for a $15 strut bar, or $150 for almost the same thing. I'll stick to the $15 ones. Thank you for the links!

 

I can relate to not wanting to spend that much, but I came to the conclusion that I don't want to send money to people that will knowingly sell you parts that do not fit. I'd rather support those who sell you legit parts that bolt up with little to no modification on my part.

Anywho, no problem!

 

I'm going to buy TC Sportline rear strut bar, Thanks guys! If only we all had good jobs like we did 2 years ago.
