rear strut bar for sedan?
 
Cork Sport has a rear strut bar for the sedan. If I recall the old FAQ section stated that the sedan had a rear strut and so one was not needed. Any comments? I added the front strut bar when I first bought the car and found it to be a great improvement.

If you're talking about the strut tower bar, the sedan does not need one in the rear since the strut towers are already tied together by the frame. It is only beneficial in the P5 because of its different construction. The front bar does make a difference in the sedan however and is standard equipment in the P5, the MP3 and the MSP.

the rear strut towers are tied together by the frame, HOWEVER, this peice of framework I have looked at personally and it is not as stiff as one might think...the rear strut tower bar offered by Gtspec will offer some extra frame rigidity. This is not something though to put first on your list of suspension mods in a sedan
