i actually have my RRM rear strut bar on my bolt closest to the rear of the car and I have my RRD rear strut bar on my bolt closest to the back seat. I also have the RRM front KBar and the RRD rear lower tie bar and the RRD Trunk brace and I am getting the RRM sway bar.

actually, i am not joking. I ordered the trunk brace from PDXRalliart and he sent me the rear strut bar instead. I left him a message saying he sent me the wrong bar and he said he was sorry (which I believe, mistakes happen), he told me to keep the bar and he'll send me the trunk brace right away. So the extra rear strut bar was sitting in my garage and I decided "**** it" I'll put it on anyways. I haven't had any problems. I'm looking forward to getting my RRM rear sway bar to help with understeer as I'm looking to do autocross this spring.

So you have:
2 rear strut bars
- 1 RRM
- 1 RDD
1 RS trunk bar
1 tie bar

And you are waiting on a progress sway bar... make sure to get an alignment bro.

I've got the RDD front K-bar, rear strut, rear tie bar.

My front left tire went flat and I went into get it checked out. The front tire going flat had nothing to do with the bars, the stock Yoko's just suck goat nuts, but they checked my front alignment and it was out of wack. The rear was fine, but I'm pretty sure that it was messed up from Mitsubishi. You just don't go through a set of tires in under 25K miles. And I don't drive hard on my tires at all.

But you should always go get an alignment after any suspension modification.
