Default Rear strut bar?

Has anyone found a company that makes one for our XB? Or has anyone found something that can work?

They posted some pics on here. I saw it a few weeks ago and it's only about $120.

Yeah, this was just talked about a few weeks ago like Naresh said. People were pumped because they are the only ones right now, and they do full-blown bracing as well, for really cheap.

Please don't forget to let us know what you think once it's installed. I'm thinking of getting it too.

I've actually got the full set of bracing from them on my box and it does improve the chassis stiffness quite a bit. So much so that i had to put a front strut brace on the dial a bit of understeer back in. Turns out that at my driving speed through canyons I had a tendency to lift the rear a bit with all the braces and trying to swap the front and rear ends is not a good idea while braking through a corner. :0 There have been people early on who were not happy with the build quality of the braces but I have to say that I have never had a problem with mine and really enjoy the increased stiffness that they add to the chassis. The rear brace is a bit of a pain going through the middle of the hatch floor but I have learned how to stack groceries around it and use it as a cargo brace.

Yes. I am selling my 2 fosgate p3 12, and is think about the sundown sa8. Then I'll add the rear strut brace. I need to free up some space in my truck too.

See all I have in my trunk are floor mounted subs. So still stock height of the trunk, and looking for stiffness for driving as well as make it look a little nicer as well! Good to hear you like them.
