Waste to get a rear strut tower bar if you have a rollbar?

Just wondering if it would be a waste to get a rear strut tower bar like the Cusco triangle bar if you have a roll bar.

that would depend on the desing of your roll bar I would think.

I was just going to get the Autopower 4 pt. race roll bar, but wasn't sure if it had enough rigidity to waiver the need of a rear strut bar. But like rxmfn7 said I guess it can't hurt. Every little bit helps I guess. Just don't want to spend $100+ on something I wouldn't need.

Here is a picture of my Autopower race rollbar when I was test fitting it. The strut bar looks like it should help considering if you look at where the rear support for the rollbar mounts.

Yeah, I think you're right. The roll bar looks too far forward to supply enough rigidity to the rear. Thanks!
