since u'll probably be spending $200 for that little strut bar, why not shell out another 200 for a roll bar, it'll perform the same and more
the roll bar should cost u no more than $500 said and done.
i truely hope u never get into a roll over but if u do you'll thank urself later

Different mounts on a vert than a coupe. As I recall the Coupes use 4 bolt mounts, while vert rear struts only use 2 bolt mounts. I could be wrong... but regardless:
But a rear strut bar is pretty useless on a vert anyway. If you actually took the rear interior plastic out and looked you would be able to tell why (they are already supported by the frame design of the vert body anyway).
It is sort of like the front crossmember for the coupes... the verts already have a factory rear section for the crossmember.

cool, but still there is zero point using a rear strut bar on a vert. The cars structure is already better than any sort of bolt in bar (that is not going to add even one iota of extra strength unless it is a welded bar without pivots.

Vert Roll Bar, bolt in. http://www.kirkracing.com/bolt-in_roll_cage.htm
I'm wanting one, but want to sit in a Vert with one installed to be sure the seat will still move back far enough for my height.
