I would say its one of the last mods you would ever notice. Put the $200 into something else. At least with the front if it does nothing to improve the ride you can still see it as a dress up piece.

get the mycr rear upper tower brace....i say its very worth it...i have it right now on my06...i love it...i wish my car came with it from the factory..the only down side is you have to make ur own bracket to attach to the roll hoops and the brackets to attach it to the plate above the rear struts..but after 6 hours of making the most perfect possible bracket i can do...i took it for a canyon run (latigo in malibu)...all i can say is wow, its very good...

Probably just the placebo effect though, you will not notice a thing from a rear upper strut brace, or even a front strut brace, but i do want one just cause they look nice but that should be the only reason to buy one.

among all of he rear upper strut bars out there..i agree that none of them has a signifiant effect on the cars handling..i have a cusco rear upper bar as well as many of us here...i also have a cusco roll cage that is bolted on the car....this roll cage that i have use to make a lightly sounding snapping sound everytime a pass or drove into a pretty unven road due to the chassi flexing, this happens especialy if im slicing to a steep ramp when going into parking lots..after i installed my cr rear upper brace the snapping sound that i hear form going thru ramps and unven level of roads is now all gone..and i never heard it again...

my observation for my little canyon run after the cr upper tower brace install..the back(rear) feels much more stable...it almost feel like having a decent wing...so i say get the cr rear tower brace...after all its made by honda and i dont think it wont be there, if that thing dont really help...

good luck...

can you please explain more what you did? I'm really interested in getting this bar, however i dont know how to mount it, and neither do the guys at honda. i dont want to purchase this without first knowing how im going to mount it
