someone on eBay sold adapters to mount the front strut bar in the rear, someone here has it installed and has pics of it up. search and try to contact him.

Ritznackon or whatever he changed it to. His old name was Saturnsrus.
Twistec made a rear STB, but they discontinued it, and it's hard to find it nowadays. They easily go for $100-200 if you can find em.
Someone started making the mounts, it was like $36 for the mounts and $21 for the eBay strut tower bar to fit.
You can always modify a front STB to fit by cutting through the trunk.
I think Ritz had a front STB in the back, and then got a real one, but I'm really not sure. I know he's got one.

Go to streetrix.com and buy there rear mount plates then find any strut bar you like and add that, for like 40 bucks you have a rear strut bar, plus it looks awesome and is easy to install.

or mod the $21 one.
involves some cutting, and you have to grind the attachment plates to fit the smaller area in da rear, then redrill the holes in the right spot ( I think I had to enlarge one hole, then redrill another), assemble with some nice fender washers to hold the modded plates and strut top nice and snug.
hey, it is some extra workie, but way less than $40..
Took me about an hour and a half to do the complete job...
go for it,
baldy

Nice link, guys. Question though, it only looks like there are 2 bolt holes that fit over the strut mount bolts... I'd be more inclined to buy them if all 3 bolts on the strut mount bolted to that adapter. Maybe it does have 3 though, but from the looks of it it doesn't. | |
