Rear brace

Is JBP the only company that makes one?
JBP rear brace
Also since we dont have rear struts is it as effective as a rear strut bar?

Well my friends have scca cars and it stiffens up the rear end making a little bit of oversteer push you around curves. I understand the concept but have never seen a functional version on a rear shock type car. Also it really does mean that it bolts to wheel wells, take out the rear of your trunk liner and you will see the wheel wells right there, just gotta drill the holes.

When you try to order it it doesnt allow you to get it for the 57 US it is marked at, it switches it to 69US and it is +30 for shipping.

thats what i was thinking. it just seems odd on a car without rear struts. im sure it would help, just curious how much considering the rear shocks.(like you said)
i guess for the price, its worth a shot.

Yeah well I really need the rear stiffened ands I dont have the money for the ottp rear sway bar so I figured this may curb some of the rear chassi flex. My friend had a rear strut bar on his SHO and that beast drifted around corners... but like I said, Strutbar...

I cant see this being a positive upgrade on our cars. Wait for the heavy hitters to weigh in though first.

I would just save for the OTT sway bar
