Is that an RS? If so you already have a trunk brace. Until you've replaced the suspension and rear swaybar there's very little you'll notice from a rear strut brace. It looks good but, if we're being honest with ourselves, it's pretty much a waste of money.

Nice install....

Dont worry so much about the "flex"... those bars are about tension strength not compression.

I have been thinking about getting a rear strut brace for my RS, I love the way yours looks. Nice and clean

. One thing I noticed about my car is going about 130 on the freeway the rear tends to slide out a little bit, im sure this will help adjust that. Anways lookin good.
