You can get a generic one off ebay for like 20 bucks. I got one and it worked out OK, i didn't noticed that much but I already have the other 2 bars. I think it helped me coming out of turns, like before the body kept leaning with the turn now I can come out of a turn and just go.

might as well get the rear upper since you already have the other bars. i guess every little helps your car out..even if you can't notice it that much.

tummyboy: Which 2 do you have on now? DCSports, Neuspeed?
I 'd say go for the rear upper. I have one in my Integra and I noticed the difference. You get less flex back there between the 2 shock/strut towers. Actually the rear upper has always been more noticeable than the rear lower bar as far as handling and turn-in goes..

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
depends on how you want the car to handle.

if you want to stiffen the rear even more, and maybe create lil more understeer (or maybe bring it closer to neutral handling)... than go for it... if not, leave it be.

just cuz you feel the difference, doesn't mean its a good difference, no?

its all on your preference.

yup my front upper was 199 my rear lower was 170 nad the rear upper not positive but I think is 200 which is not a whole lot of money but if it does not make a differance then it is a 200 dollar shiny thing in your trunk [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

anyone have pictures after they installed the rear upper strut bar (aka Trunk bar)???
i want to see how the bar looks after the install and will it take away any storage space.
on my friend's 93 civic sedan, it took away some storage space cuz the bar sit in mid air and he has a speaker box and practically no more space cuz that bar

i read that the rear lower does the least of all and is practicly un-noticeable at all, unless youre a hard core roadracer. i would but the rear upper before the lower, but until i do somethin different w/ my box, i wont get it. so since you have the front upper, and to anyone else, what/ how does it change the handling? ive been thinking about getting one, but was a little sceptical.
