I have one , the rear suspension designs benefits 0% by adding such a bar. it in fact can cause the shocks to get sheared off. I have it for looks and on the belief that the shearing will not happen . it adds no structural integrity to the car , only takes up trunk space. I got mine off of ebay for approximately 50.00 shipped. the gt spec does the same non-effects effects but looks better ( if you like candy orange that is )
not ____ing in anyones cheerios just spreading teh truth about said bars. if you want an improvement back there get a bar custom made that ties the shock mounts together not the shock rods. that or get the bbist c pillar brace.

Like Darren stated, the brace for the strut/shock tower brace needs to be mounted to the towers themselves. If you unbolt the shocks and look at the top, you'll see alot of play there. While the GT Spec bar looks good and will prolly take away some of the flex minimally, the best bet is a brace that mounts to the shock towers.

Yeah, I mainly wanted one for looks, to possible mount my air tanks to, for display only. I am most likely gonna fab one myself, I just wanted to see a picture of one, and how it would attach, to get an idea for a bracket. Thanks for the links!
