Did you leave the rear bracket support on both sides or removed them completely?

I removed mine cuz they're a PITA.

What you do is fold down the rear seats, take out the side parts that hold the seatbelts, take off the plastic trim, take off the metal bracket, and underneith that metal bracket, you can take the smaller strut tower brackets out.

I can adjust my K-Sports better that way, and install on everything else was A LOT simpler.

oh, i know how to remove em. I removed em when i put my rear of my ksports in. I could hear chassis twist so i put em back on. now its louder hearing the metal squeak and twist. So i was thinkin a rear strut tower would make that noise go away but dunno if i should leave or remove those damn brackets. anyone else get the chassis twist noise like when u turn or go over a speed bump????

Lawrence, I KNOW he was talking about 2000 I30 numb nuts. I was just throwing it out there that 4th gens don't have this bracket - just FYI.

4th gens handle better than 5th gens, but yet they don't have this bracket. That's all I'm trying to say.
