Rear Strut tower brace

I just ordered front and rear strut tower braces from two different companies, and the bars and mounts are identical. Does anyone know if the front and rear use the same bar, or did someone send me two front bars?

Im pretty sure they are the same, but I might be wrong. Someone correct me if I am.

I'm thinking it would be two different bars...when I installed my springs, the rear mounting points were definately on more of an angle than the fronts...

They're different. The FSTB has two bends while the RSTB is straight.

That was going to be a kit of 2 i believe. We were Told to use the 01 front and the 01 rear.

At their web site under the 02 front and rear, you will see the new listing showing to use the 00 - 01 numbers.

dude, are there 2 black brackets in front of the towers for the rstb? because i can't easily access the bolts on them, the space there is limited due to the bracket, please tell me what to do, or show me some pics.

thanks. because just from looking at your pics, and write up it seems so easy, and it would be, except for the fact that the brackets are blocking the towers.
