Hey...I was wondering if anyone has installed the cusco or RS trunk bar (the one all the way in the back of the car by the spare tire) onto a car that didn't have one. Did you notice any real differences and if so, how much did it change the handling?

for reference, this is what im referring to -> http://lancershop.com/customer/produ...&cat=16&page=1

Thanks,
Mike

I didnt put the cusco one In , I made one out of 1 1/4 " 1.20 it looks very simalar to that design , I really coudnt feel that much of it , but I know something is back there

 

we've used it a on a few cars and the rear stays planted mid turn much nicer with it - you notice it most when powering out of the turn

we have about a billion in stock

 

I have the Cusco one, but didn't notice too much of an overall difference.

I would save the few extra dollars and buy the RS version if I had to do it all over again.

It's not as fancy looking but I'm sure it is just as stiff.

 

What Mike said. Got my at the dealership for just over $40 for the bar, bolts and tax.
You have to cut the bottom part of the latch plastic cover to fit right - no biggie.

 

rs bar works like a charm. i'd definitely go that route.
