Do you mean a tie bar that goes underneathe the car? No company that I know of. If you are talkinga bout a strut bar that connects your shocks towers, you have to find one that goes over the fuel tank.

JIC only makes a front strut bar NOT a REAR which is what the op was asking about please make sure you have your facts straight before you post

there is no aftermarket company that makes a rear strut bar to the best of my knowledge one would have to be custom made although i believe you would find this not worth cost or time

nice find but it appears that bar would not work with a rear sub or the factory air cleaner found in some soarers like mine

Default Basic Question?

Do either of these things...front or rear bars...really make that much of a difference and under what circumstances? I cant see unless ur trackin or autocrossing the cars where you'd get all that much benefit from these. It doesnt seem that most of these cars hit either circuit. Can someone shed some light on this for me?

So before you tell someone to have their facts straight, please have yours. Because you just said there is none and for me to check my facts in one sentence then in another one you said there is no company that makes it to your knowledge, yet someone just posted one that's not customed.
then please do show me this bar from JIC. i havent had a whole sale account with them for years so i wouldnt know what they do or dont make

and i do apologize i didnt know about a knock off company in japan making them and selling them on yahoo auctions
