You wont, as there isnt a whole lot of Lateral flex coming from the shock mounts on the rear. Thanks to the rear end being a Double wishbone style suspension, so Most of the lateral forces are transfered through the control arms to the chassis, rather then through the shock mount. Now if you could some how tie the upper control arm mounts together.......

I thought I felt a little difference. The rear end seems to sway a little more, but in a positive way. The rear end flips and skids a little more around turns now.

it felt looser for some reason? I know the back end has more of a wobble than before. I could turn at 45-50 90 degrees and it wouldnt skid as much as now. There is a difference, but not nearly as noticeable as the fron tie bar. the front one made a tremendous difference. The rear close to nothing, but a little looser for some reason? I bought it for the look in the trunk. It is right in front of my subs (since their facing forward) and it looks dope.

basically, if you remove the carpet covering the mounting points, you can sort of tell 1 is not necessary for street. Cars like the RSX, old Civic hatches, Del Sol's, I guess would benefit more.
