Rear upper strut question
I just install the neuspeed front upper strut bar, what is good for the rear? The neuspeed one is too much. What else is good. Are the Ebay ones any good, are they a direct bolt on NO DRILLING necessary. I was thinking of getting one of those for the summer because the lack of funds and i was thinking having something instead of nothing will be better. Another thing is i need a bar that doesnt stick up alot and i can still put the carpet back over so it looks stock. Any advice will help.

Dude, you have a net in the trunk, too! I know a bunch of people who's cars came with those but I never got on. I'm so jealous. When I buy gallons of milk and water they roll all over the trunk cuz I have no net

Rep Power: 318 technically the net is an accessory.. trust me if they got one they were charged for it I bet. about the rear upper bar, go with OBX.. you'll find them on ebay every now and then for like $30

Rep Power: 583 not to go against the grain, but i think a rear strut bar is pretty pointless for our car. the floor of your trunk is pretty sturdy and the strut bar wont really do much more as far as stiffening it.
now if you want to get rear tie bars (the ones that go underneath) thats another story.
all in all, i guess $30 for an ebay strut bar isnt much of a waste of money, but dont expect to notice as much of a difference as you did with the front strut bar.

Rep Power: 419 I installed the rear sway bar first. Then I installed the rear strut bar. 
Yeah, it's only really noticeable when you're pushing it. Otherwise you won't feel any difference.
