I've been looking into the rear bar..., found one also by Ultra racing but for some reason it's 2 pieces
https://ultraracingaustralia.com.au/pro ... r-4-point/I'm confused why is there multiple points in the rear end???
HELP

Now this is where things get very interesting
As you can see in the photo their bars go straight across from the towers
That's all wonderful and great if you have a flat floor in the boot
However
You will come drastically unstuck when you have a full wheel kit installed in the boot as it raises the floor by about 3 inches
There is if you go hunting one for the Lancer that is raised and will fit with the raised floor , however, I haven't ever seen one in Australia for sale

https://speedywheels.com.au/what-is-wheel-pcd/Did you Goto high school at all ?
Did you do technical drawing class?
Where you set up a staff board and A3 paper and use T-square and set square etc to do design drawings by hand ?
You would have learnt all this in those classes if you paid attention

Rear braces are a pain....they get in the way when you have to lay the seats down to put something big in the boot.The rear suspension cradle is pretty sturdy I really don't think you would gain any tangible benefit from installing one.

I have low profile D1 specs rear strut, about 1" off the floor, so don't really affect storage.
Do feel the rear tighten up a bit but not much.
Got it for a steal!

Why not go for the lower bar that mounts under the car? Then you don't have anything messing up your boot.

Cos if you do that the top of the tower is still not supported

I think I'm happy now with the front one, it is just my daily car

Rear strut support is not really needed for daily driver
