Which Rear Strut Bar is BEST?

[ls1ac]

and not much of an opening. the back end is well boxed.

If you really want bars, look at cusco and gt spec, they make like 10 kinds of bars/reinforcement plates. You can easily drop 2k on those alone.

thanks for all the help!

Whatever you get, make sure to wash the car often. You don't want it getting stinky.

At least get the car, drive the car and then decide if you want/need a bar!

Well, we all have big plans. Except @Tcoat since he's too old and if he dropped his car off at the shop for something, he may not be alive to pick it up.

I too had a lot of plans to modify. Once I bought the car, realized there arent many ways to improve it for a canyon carver/daily driver setup. You may or may not find the same. I did add the grim speed front strut tower brace, it makes a difference but wasn't neccessary.

Why do you believe you need a strut bar?

Is the rear too lose? Excessive oversteer?

Or are you modifying for the sake of modifying?

When it comes to suspension, you always have to question why you are changing a part. What's wrong that you wanna improve? You cannot throw parts on a car and expect a difference, especially one that's a positive difference.

I noticed this part: i do know that you need to install more bars into order to feel a difference

Feel what difference? Get off the internet, do some driving, talk to some people who know their stuff and then start modifying.

Read this, you'll need it.


For most people, a set of ST coilovers will let them be happy for the life of the car. Some just want to lower the car.

Just because it's made doesn't mean you need it. From this feedback, and knowing it's not a hatchback, I guess it'd be a good base to fastens some sort of box too. This way your groceries won't slide all over in your trunk.

Good pic Tcoat, I've met some of those guys. And been one, admittedly, as a younger lad.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but questioning the necessity to brace the rear suspension hit me as I changed out to coils over the weekend. The (2) nuts holding in the coils on each end seemed a bit flimsy. I understand the coils are also tightly supported down at the LCA, however wouldn't adding a support brace/bar strengthen the connection to the body?
