Rear strut bar install
Remove the trunk liners.
It comes with 2 plates with a stud welded to it. Slide that inside the frame so the stud stick out.(pic 1)
I put the liners back in and used the stud to mark where to cut the liners. (pic 2)
I cut a slot in the liner so the bar could slide though it and then i cut a square out where the bar is located.
Next bolt the bar to each stud with the nuts and washers supplied. (pic 3)
The bar is asjustable. Using the center nut adjust the bar so it is tight against the frame.
Next put the the liners back in.
It takes longer to get the liners in and out then to install the bar itself.

Looks great! It also looks like it doesn't take away from trunk space.
Don't forget to let us know if there's a difference! I'm definitely considering picking up a front/rear set in the spring.

As for noticing a difference. To be fair i did a couple changes when i did the bar. I switched from eibach to h&r springs and from stock struts to bilsteins and did the rear bar at the same time. So hard to know what did what
But the car feels like a completely different car, i love it
