Default Rear upper strut bar on 94-01 LS sedan

Anyone on HAN have one?

I'm debating on whether or not I should get one. I have the Type R front strut bar and a Comptech rear sway/tie bar. Is the tie bar sufficient enough? I just want to stiffen the chasis.

I wanted to see what an install would look like on a sedan. The trunk liner would have to be removed or cut.

Well I'm pretty serious about tuning my suspension. The Ebay strut bars are quite flimsy, I could most likely bend them in half over my knee. I'm looking for a rigid tie bar that will reinforce the chasis. The Type R came with this tie bar from factory so I'm thinking that the bar is quite functional.

On a sedan, you will not get as large an improvement as you would on a hatchback, there is already quite a bit of material there and no big hole for the hatch. I would rather maintain the ability to use my trunk. LIner would need cut and it would sort of be right there in the way if you ever want to put junk in trunk
