Why do RS have Trunk Bar as standard and the rest do not ?

Also, can anyone post pics of where the hols are, that connect the trunk bar?

I know it's in the trunk near the rear section, but do you have to pull out the carpet to install it ?




Thanks,

JK

 

The vendors say you have to trim some plastic to make it fit.

I was just going to start a thread about this myself...I'm debating the Cusco OS rear brace or the Mitsu RS one. The mitsu one is very cheap, wondering what the trade offs are, I mean its just a brace I'm sure anything is better then nothing...people swore by ebay strut braces in Subarus.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Still searching but this is what I came up with so far

 

What does that bar do? What is it attached to?

 

It keeps RS's stable since they dont have a wing to keep the trunk stable





.....

 

Thanks for the Picture.

Looks like I'll have to peel off the carpet towards the back section of the trunk.

 

So I have to peel off the carpet like panel behind the tail lights ?

 

Does anyone know how much these go for? A part numer would help and I could find out from the dealer.

 

Search will find the PN# and www.mitsubishiparts.com sells for $40 plus bolts for another $2.

 

And cut some sections off the plastic panel covering... well for the gsr I have, I had to do that. The carpet is no problem.

 

Does that small bar make any difference for a non-RS car?

Total noob question but, it's not clickin in my head....Trunk bar does what excatly?

 

Its supposed to stiffen up the back of the car figure the evo is like this | | now its like this |-| in the trunk area anyway.

 

I still don't see how a bar that small can cause a noticable increase in chassis rigidity...
