Yes but I don't think it would make a big difference with our car. Better off buying some sway bars. Like the TRD rear sway, Hotchkis front and rear sways, or the Progress rear sway

Hmm, I'm curious if this could supplement F&R sways, front strut bar, rear 4 pt brace.

It feels like most of the flex in this car twists closer to the wheels.

I bet it will make the car feel more rigid, but might be more useful when combined with other suspension modifications.

THE SHADOW

I had one in my car. It's a pain in the but to put in (doesn't seem that way, but the bottom seat belt bolts are a pain to rethread). It didn't make any difference for me and was more of just a foot rest for rear passengers.

Why did you have to re-thread the bolts???

By rethread, I was talking about installing the bolts back in. They never seemed to catch the threads and it took me about 20 minutes. They have to go straight in or they won't catch AT ALL.

Hmm, Im not understanding how this this works. Could anyone explain?

Things like strut bars, or sway bars, or shock braces actually attach to suspension parts. But this thing doesn't.

It attaches at the base of the B-pillar and is supposed to do the same thing as a front or rear strut brace. I felt absoluetly nothing though and it was as tight as possible.

The idea is that it reduces twist.

I would love to give this a try but I sure wouldnt pay for it until I know it'll make a difference.

Yeah, but where? I dont think the actual body of the car twists so much that it needs a stabilizing floor bar. And if it does, get a friend to sit in the back seat of the car. Then have the friend grab the two cup holders on either side. Same effect
