It makes SUCH a difference on our cars.. Obviously you don't have one.. 2000 GTI 1.8t 1998 Ford Contour SVT - FOR SALE!! PM me for details

I am only about 45 minutes away and would be able to come down to the shop for a few hours while you do it. It is a 96 GL is that makes a difference. 96 Pacifica Green GL Aftermarket JVC stereo White-Face HVAC Purple interior CTA Intake SVT Exhaust (coming soon) BNM White Face Gauges (coming soon)

Actually the Cougars are closer together. Contiques are all the same. The rear bar is a good mod. Now the front towers are the ones that don't deflect much. 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...

This is one of the most rigid componets on any car. And the only purpose a rear strut bar can & will ever serve is purly aesthetic. The flex is in the chassis. By bracing between these very stiff points, you prevent the chassis from flexing. You're dead wrong! Black E1
