RSTB? Would something like this benefit our cars?

I know this guy from maxima.org... he said he'd make them if I could take measurements for him... I just wonder if it's worth it though? Would this in any way benefit our cars? I would assume coupe and sedan would need different measurements... our seats don't fold down so they'd be installed on the trunk side...

CUSTOM REAR STRUT BRACE

Simple two bolt installation, no drilling required.

The bar is 1" cold rolled steel, pressed, painted and wrapped in either silver carbon fiber or classic black carbon fiber vinyl. (Custom colors, plain bars available)

Two pieces of grip tape accent the ends while partially securing itself to the carpet.

All hardware, including bolt end caps to prevent any type of seat damage, is included.


Not trying to pimp you guys out or anything, but I just thought this would be a cool product for us if this would be beneficial as far as performance. I'm sure any difference would be barely noticeable, but to some of us, every bit helps, right? These are pretty cheap too...

Good deal... I'll ask him exactly what measurements he needs...

I'm sure that would purely depend on where the brace is mounted. Just throwing it in the trunk without calculating where the most flex in the body is occurring is useless. Our chassis has already been stiffened by 36% compared to the old platform, so I don't see this having any improvement on rigidity over stock. And if it did help the handling in any way, it is nothing that would be even remotely tangible.
