Look at that candy! D2BD rear strut and frame brace!

I ordered mine already. Stephen from D2BD has been helpful. I hope it makes a difference. I got the racing red and from the pictures, as far as I can tell, it looks great. We'll see. I'll post pictures when it's all said and done.

Please do provide impressions. Not sure how you plan on objectively testing improvements as it is pretty much impossible to do so on the street, however subjective improvements are probably just as good when it comes to the comfort factor.

Several pictures of how it affects trunk space would be a very welcome addition as well.

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.

A buddy of mine has found that his trunk pops open on occasion while doing donuts and things of that nature. I'd be curious to find out if this bar would do anything to prevent that.
