Re: rear upper stressbars

[Eric L Ellis <elf16v@juno.com>]

I've never tried the 2 point bar, like Eurosport and others, but I do
have the 4 point Neuspeed bar. I didn't have the cash to upgrade the
suspension in one shot and came across the rear bar at a shop for a price
I couldn't pass up. ($125.00) I didn't have the Bilst/HoR's, Autotech
rear 28mm bar, poly, or even the front upper bar when I installed the
rear upper, but as things went on, I could feel the benefits of the rear
upper. I had just installed the springs/shocks and decided to fit a new
carpeting in the hatch. Since the rear upper bar required being mounted
through the pan, and it takes me several weeks to complete ANY project on
my own car, the bar was out for some time. When it went back in, my ass
got tight again. (from: O to • ...just kidding)

If you can deal with the loss of room, my battery is back there too, get
one!
