Rear strut brace for 6th gen?

Is there a rear strut brace available for the 6th gen?
I have one for my 4th gen.

The strut brace is for the front struts. In the rear there is a stiffer anti-sway bar that replaces the original equipment bar (already in place). I have the Catmann replacement and find it is much stiffer than the original equipment.

Go here for some earlier discussion on this.

There was another thread here entitled "Rear sway bar for 04-05 Maxima" that is not longer working (I can't get the link to work). The last post was done on April 28, 05.

The rear uses a shock / spring setup. The top of the shocks bolt into what appears to be a cross member at the top of the rear wheel wells that is part of the body of the car. This makes a brace unnecessary since the top mount points of the shocks are already braced laterally. As SilverMax said, the beefier anti-sway bar is the necessary upgrade for the rear suspension.
