Trunk Bar

I don't have a lot of knowledge on this topic, but have seen a lot of SE-R / Spec-V owners with these as one of the members makes them.

Basically it is a 4pt bar, that connects between 4 bolts in the trunk area. It is not a RSTB, but a bar that bolts in different locations.



Now suspension gurus, is this something that would be beneficial to our cars and something people would be interested in?

How would it be different if it was a RSTB?

i see almost no difference at all except the 4pt connector. i know that doesn't connect to the upper strut portions as a normal RSTB would but don't you think it would almost have the same effects? just get a rstb

we already have the beam and also the rear back seat support that runs across, and for those that have it, the rear strut bar itself. that bar wouldnt stiffen the chassis any better than what is offered already. looks cool, but thats all its going to do. id get one just for aesthetics if it fit.

i think that might be more for cars that have a 60/40 pas through to gain back a bit of the frame stiffness.....not to sure but its a guess

From what I've researched it is a RSTB replacement, one or the other, and both just provide chassis stiffening. This project was killed off, but our only options for RSTB are by Stillen anyways, correct? (5.5 gen) Also, from what I've heard, the bars did not provide much improvement, especially for the price.

I already have the RSB, which made a great improvement, but just searching for a possible next step.

At the price of a stillen RSTB, you could make your own quite easily.

Like already stated, it would be pretty much parallel to a RSTB.
