Who makes a rear strut bar that doesn;t require the removal of the spare tire? any pictures would also help......Thanks......Frank

 

Does anyone actually keep their spare tire in??


Maybe on a long road trip like WSB took . . . . . but other than that, ditch the spare and save the weight. And if needed, a can of fix a flat would be more beneficial than the spare anyway. You aren't even supposed to mount the spare on the rear.

 

Mr. ALEX rear stut bars which doesn't require to move anything.

 

anyone got pictures of the rear struct bar on a s2k? not too many company offere them for some reason.

 

There is a brace there in the back stock. I've seen an aftermarket one from Cusco.

Here's the Alex bar. It doesn't look like it'll get in the way of the spare but I'm not 100% sure.



IMO it's a better design than the OEM bar as it bolts directly on top of the shocks.

 

Is this a 'bling' thing (no insult intended)? The car effectively has a brace back there already and doesn't seem to need any further enhancement in that arena.

BTW, that alexbar (not familiar with it) appears hinged in exactly the wrong place, and as such would provide less rigidity than the stock cross-member.

Like I said, if it's for the bling factor, no one will see it unless you strip out the lining. Functionally, that bar just doesn't seem better than the stock item.

 

that looks fine, where can this be ordered?
