I'd like to know too. Shouldn't be that different from a FSTB.

Stillen! :D

On eBay, there is occasionally a seller who offers one by Trust of Japan for about $30.00 or $40.00. Other than that, I think your only other choice is Stillen's RSTB for $172.71.

From what I've read, it really doesn't do much for your suspension, and once it's on, you don't have as easy of an access from your trunk to your main cabin through the hole behind the back seats since the RSTB will be partially blocking that area.

Peace.

yeah, i've heard that they don't really do much except block your access to the trunk from the back

RSTB -
Advantages:
-cool factor, i suppose
-possible "slight" actual effect on body flex.

Disadvantages:
-everything I've read says you are getting pretty much no effect for your $$
-just adding dead weight to your car
-takes up trunk space
-blocks you from putting big things through the folded down back seat if you ever need to.
-nobody sees it unless they are in your trunk...so even the "cool factor" is minimal

Does cattman make one? I don't feel like checking...

I have the RSTB and I think it worths the investment. The RSTB helps absorb road imperfection under harsh impact by stiffen the rear section. It's not a noticeable mod as the RSB's but it does contribute to improve the rigidity of the overall structure.

This topic had been mentioned so many times and I here still stand behind the installation of this mod. FYI, I ordered mine from http://www.RVMRACING.COM about a year ago (same company that made the "leaking" UDP's) for $50. I am not sure if they still make them for our car though.
