Ive got the write up from speedstate, but i just got my rear bar from kspec and just by looking at it, it looks like it could either be installed w/ the bar towards the rear seats, OR toward the rear of the hatch.

The write up has it going to the back of the rear seats (offset to the front from the strut towers), would it stiffen the suspension more it it was installed the other way (toward the rear of the car, more or less centered on the towers) :?:

Take a look at the holes on the strut bar ends, you should only able to mount it one way since their are only 3 bolts. wink.gif I though the same thing when I first got mine....but it will only fit one way. laugh.gif

well the end links that came from kspec are only a half a circle, there are three holes, but the two ones on the end are more oval shaped, so there may enough play there to install it both ways, (i should have taken a pic when i was doing my dynamat).

Yeah, that's how mine is. I will take a pic when I get home....it will only fit one way I promise.

I've got the same one from Kspec.com man, it'll only fit one way, with the bends going towards the front.

it does make your seats almost impossible to lock back.

thanks redz, well, i never put them down anyways, so once i get em locked they'll stay that way.

Yeah you have to slam them. I have the safe life and it sounds like yours is just like mine.

Just outta curiousity, anyone got a pic of the rear bar from Kspec?
And who makes it again?

racetech, not much diff from the one seen in the write up at speedstate, except its hexagonal instead of round
