It is an arospeed bar. It is a floor bar. It won't do very much. There was another floor bar that was straight across because we don't have a hump and that one was good. That one is universal so it is probably crap. Too many loose parts. Floor bars are illegal SCCA in STS if you are curious.

Rep Power: 389 As far as I know you cannot have a chassis brace that isn't attached to the struts minus the rear lower tie bar. Front upper and lower tie bars have to be attached to the struts somehow. That is why a X or U brace is illegal in STS. You can check with your local chapter but I am pretty sure any bar inside the car is illegal for STS. Ask Zzyzx or boilermaker too.

Rep Power: 345 I have one of these. I dunno if it really does that much, as I installed it the same time as my rear upper tie bar and (if I recally correctly) right around when I installed my RSX rear sway. Looks good, but the hump bothers me so I'm gonna get a friend to fab me up a straight bar.

Yes it is, but then the cage will add 100+ LBS to the weight of the car...
Weight means a hell of a lot more when it comes to handling... Especialy in STS where Engine prep is minimal.
