Rear shock tower brace?
first question: Has anyone heard of a bar that attaches the tops of the rear shocks (hacthbacks only) together and it is designed to increase stability? If so has any one used it? Where can I get one? and Is it any good?
Man I am asking a lot huh? thanks any way chuck 88GT |

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

Kenny brown makes one. It would only be useful in an all out racecar, but then the roll cage could be biult into the rear shock towers. It also looks like a pain to install and takes up too much room.
