I got my RCR 3-Point Rear strut from Defgeph. This bar is damn sturdy. The whole car would move if I pulled on the bar, showing no signs of flexing whatsoever.
PS sorry for the crappy camera. Nice Wrapping.  In order for the center part of the bar to be held down, a longer bolt is needed.  The perfect bolt for this would be: 8mm-1.25 x 30mm bolt. (13mm head)  This keeps the bar VERY snug.    Then I trimmed back the carpet to make it look nice.   Feels good.  Thanks again Jeff! |

The bar is in roughly the same position at roughly the same height as a GT4 one - to me it looks like the strut top covers would fit

You would have to trim the cover some. That bar is in the same position, but is twice as thick. So some dremel action is needed to remove some plastic out.
I have yet to fit my covers, maybe I'll do that. I'll make all the test holes so you guys can cut only once.

Shame, the stock covers would take a bar twice as thick though surely because they usually have the padding over the stock bar ??? |

I love it! I'm interested in one when I get some extra cash
So it stiffens the rear end pretty good huh?
