Rear Strut Bar

Hi, I couldn't find a thread with this, sorry.

I want to get a rear strut bar because I recently did the rear seat delete and I figured why not add some cosmetics to it. Maybe the bar will help, notice it? probly not...


But of those who has one, what brand? do you like it? I found this.

I have one but I don't feel any different maybe just me. I think it will be better use the money to mod the rear sway bar which is more useful (if you haven't did that)

Yes I do have a rear sway bar already, I'm not doing this at all for performance/suspenion, just to complete my interior look and it will actually serve me a purpose so my work bags don't slide all the way back/or foward.

Also I believe they attach to the back seat bracket, although others might custom make a hole like the jwp gp.


Those who have one, what brand, where did u get it, how much?
All I can find is the one I posted above, others I find on eBay for 20-30 bucks but I really don't feel like monkeying around this mod to make it fit.

The ones ive used mounted up via the rear seat latches. Most people say its more bling than functional because its nowhere near the top of the rear struts. Sure looks cool though.

Here is a link to the Moss Mini rear bar. It looks like a good price when compared to the similar Mini Mania bar (link below Moss link).

What is the price of the Ultra Racing bar?

I say the ultra bar on ebay for $142 shipped. The M7 brace looks freaking sweet though. I really like the black anodized and square Al look.
Anyone knows who makes this one? This is Detroit Tuned Mini that won MOTM

The logo on that brace has to be DDMWORKS, I looked all over the Internet and couldn't find that, maybe a specially made one for them, or a whole custom piece with just the DDM sticker
