|  rear strut tower mounts.............are available
here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-...QQcmdZViewItem
just add a front strut bar (interchangable, just don't use the mount plates that came with them) after installed, and you are buttoned up in the rear too.
wish I had had these before i did my SW2....

Sweet. I didn't think they existed. Nice to know and I should probably buy a set.

Wow, that's awesome, but $36 just for some stupid brackets is rape.
I'd like a rear STB, but I dunno if I can justify spending $60 for the gains it's going to provide.
Yes, I know the real ones are $150+

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
this is not a mass produced item, considering labor for the cutting, shaping and welding, $36 prolly barely covers the total costs to produce this item..........i only posted cause there have been threads here in the past about rear struts and stuffs..............the gains will be less in a sedan, but in a wagon with the rear open between the struts, it really tightens the feel...........
in the case of an SW application, if the bar can get raised to allow more more for transporting large items, the way i did was nifty only because is it hidden below the trunk area cover behind the seat, sleeper like, the bar i did is definately a pain whenever i have to transport my tile cutter........

In a wagon I wonder if there are some type of "quick release" bolts like the hubs on bicycles that can be removed without wrenches. Id hate to have to unbolt it with tools every time i need to actually use the wagon as a wagon | |

Twistec bar really sucks compared to using a front STB.
that bracket has poor welds, probably won't be any better than the twistec crap.
