Front and Rear Strut bars
Ok so im taking groceries out of my hatchback, its hot as hell here...at least 108, sweat is dripping in my trunk. Anyways, I notice the rear strut adapters mounted in the back and im thinking to myself, "Lets put this thing to work". However, the only company that makes them is Daewootech.net and they are sold out.
Is it possible to get some type of....universal rear and strut bar or does anyone know which bars would fit our cars?

When hitting it from behind, I prefer to tap it "Daewoo Style"

Does the rear strut bar mount to the top of the rear strut towers in the same way that the front one does? Or does it mount under the car somewhere?
I'm going to have a good look at my car & see about fabricating rear strut bars. If they are not hard to make, and I see a noticable improvement, I'll make several more bars & post them for sale.

With my speaker box, I can not mount a rear strut bar!
My box is 34" wide, 18" tall & 18" front to back. It has an internal air volume of 5.2 cubic feet (147.5 liters) so almost my whole hatch area is filled with a 75 pound speaker box (that is the weight of the box with no speaker). The box with the 42 pound speaker is a 117 pounds. This does not include the amp rack & amplifiers that are in there.
So ... I can make a rear strut bar, but I can't use it unless I take out my box or build a different box.
I might put one in my fiance's Lanos, though. I'm sure she's like it in her car. She wants to get the lowering springs & a front strut bar for her car, too.

rear strut bar
i thought the rear had shocks and they aren't mounted the same way the front is the only way would to mount a bar under the shock bolts and i don't know how much stability that would give you seems it would cause the shocks to deflect or maybe bend the mounts. but maybe i'm wrong. shed some light please.
