New RSTB?
Anyone have one of these on their ride? Price is right and looks don't matter since you can't really see it.

In the 4 & 5 gen maxes cornering loads on the suspension are not fed into the chassis anywhere near the rear strut towers so I seriously question the value of a rear strut brace except for bragging rights - and to hamper the usability of the trunk. The car is quite stiff in that area anyway because of the design of the rear seat bulkhead/passthrough. Bracing the transverse link mounts would help and a bushing kit for the transverse link would be great (but tough to engineer well).
