Default does it work? ingalls 4 point and rear strut bar

wondering if anyone tried/failed/succeeded in installing a ingalls 4 point brace and rear strut bar(dme/greddy/etc.) ? it would cover all bases if using both for rear interior suspension just want to know if it works because im sure the 2 together would use the same attachment at the strut tower bolts kind of like the ETD and front strut bar combo.

There would really be no point in using both. If you're going to consider anything at all, go for the Ingalls, it should theoretically work better with its 4 mounting points.

As for how much it would do, it's hard to say.

true, the 4 point would be hidden and the strut bar would be asthetic just want to know if they could physically installed together?

Looking at the way the Ingalls mounts, I would say it's not possible. I just installed the DME bar in my tC this past weekend and there's no way both would work together. If the Ingalls bar didn't go all of the way across from tower to tower, maybe.

strut bar in general wouldn't do much for our cars regardless of where it is

ingalls 4 point, sway bars, coilovers, bushings and ya goooood

I have the ingalls rear strut tower brace and it's awesome! the only problem you might have is after it's installed you won't be able to fir your Styrofoam cubby anymore unless you cut them which makes them useless IMHO so I left them out since I plan on making a false floor for it anyways.

As for running both on at the same time, I don't think you can since I don't think you will be able to screw the nut on after the strut sits on top of the ingalls bar if I think they bolt on the same spots like I think they do.

The ingalls is just a much stable product.

What he said. Strut bars are nice if you just have to put one more sparkly part on your car. Not necessary for handling...

Im not talking about any Strut Bar im talking about the Ingalls 4 Point Bar. I have read a lot about this bar and a lot of people say it makes a big difference thats why im interested in this bar and not any other Strut bar.
