How can it be done? The bolts don't seem easily accesible for the top of the strut; and i was going to make my own like the front one.

You don't need a rear strut brace because its already brace from the factory due to the design of the car..
you probably could manage to put one in there, but it won't really yeild much. better to put the money into upgraded bushings/swaybars/springs/endlinks depending on what you have/don't have already This post has been edited by playr158: Sep 7, 2010 - 8:42 PM |

Remove the black plastic trim and you should be able to access the upper strut bolts If it were a hatch. For a coupe you have to remove that deck lid. Once its clear you can see where your strut mount bolts up to. |

That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |
