I've seen those bars around occasionally. I would not go for one personally, I can't see it doing a lot of good. The purpose of a front shock tower brace is to keep your alignment consistent during cornering, which makes sense because a LOT of force is being put on the towers if you're digging into a corner, whereas in the rear, it's located by the uppers and lowers, and there really isn't a lot of force on the shocks except up and down motion. Just my .02. -Mark
