Rear strut bars however are pure snake oil and the aftermarket is capitalizing on the uniformed buyers or those looking for the bling factor. I often wonder exactly how many of the available bracing products actually do something or are made and sold simply because there is a perception of need.
I actually want to develop a custom rear bar for my Integra. I would if I weren't so lazy. It would be an awesome track wheel holder. Luckily the depressions where the backseats would normally be fit 4 track tires perfectly which is why I've been so lazy trying to do a better solution.
