I have searched and searched but i cannot for the life of me find the old thread where someone had made or modified a rear strut tower bar to have a quick release. basically there was a quick release (same kind of idea as the tires on a mountain bike) so you can pull the bar out and take full advantage of folding the seats down and using the whole trunk. if anyone can find that for me or tell me that its a horrible idea regardless of whether or not someone on these forums already did it i would appreciate it.
also just for regular old strut tower braces iv seen the spec GT bars that everyone raves about. i'v seen some people talk about the cheapo ebay ones (always sketch me out but how important can it be if the car doesn't need one to being with?) and the cx-6 bar as shown below
Which of those, or another that I didn't list, is the best to get. And are any even worth it (the msp and 3 people rave about them)
I have also read that your car needs an alignment after putting in or taking out a strut tower bar, any truth to that? (if so there goes that quick release idea!)
