ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 10-29-2008, 01:59 PM

picked this up from DAN at WE SELL CAR PARTS and i must say i do like this part. my normal route to work this morning didn't have the usual rough ride associated with a drop and 18's. i reccomend this to anyone who wants a inexpensive mod. price was 55 bucks shipped and yes i did lose my rear seatbelts for this install........

very nice did this help with flex and could you put the panels back on.

cali yaris · 10-29-2008, 02:16 PM

lost the seatbelts, huh?
I guess you can take the seats out then? Can't have passengers back there!

The pics show with the panels off, are you able to put them back on without any modification to them?

NO, panels must be trimmed to be put back to stock looking appearance......

Wonder when the naysayers will start posting that it does nothing?

If I ever have mod money again, I might try this. Is there still a way you could keep those rear belts?

WeeYari · 10-29-2008, 04:05 PM

How exactly does that soften the ride? I don't get it.

I don't see how you could keep them in this situation, you'd have to shorten the bar. It looks adjustable but to what lentgh i'm wondering (the nut on the end of the bar at each end). I'll have to look at my belt when I get out of here. Depending on the width of the belt mount area it could just slip over it, but I highly doubt it.

Even if you could keep the belts, the bar is positioned forward of the rear seat backs. People be whacking their heads on it.

Looks pretty high though, you'd have to have someone about 6' 5" to hit IMO. I'd swipe the pads off my sons huffy and wrap em around it, lol

Nerf bar style

My interpretation of your 'rough ride' statement.

That upper bar works a bit, in hatchbacks, but you can't have anyone in the back seat so that kinda sucks.

The lower bar on top of the shocks is worth the money you can get for it at the recycling center. It does even less than the front strut bar, and just adds weight and cuts down on cargo space.

To Rockland,

You are implying that the bar made the car is "stiffer" and "ride better" all at the same time? Not that I think you are in any position to quantify handling gains.. but thanks for your opinion. I think if I gave you a battery tie down brace you would say the car handled better.

So just get this an a sway bar and you'll be set? (Thinking about getting one myself along with a sway bar. :P)
