Will a rear strut tower bar really improve the feel of my car.
My two options at this point are Shark Racing and Mussa.
Is it worth the money???????????????

I can go through a turn much smoother with my sr rear strut tower bar so i'd say its a nice improvement, im going to look into somthing for the front shortly.

Was is it difficult to install? And Try the sr strut tower bar for the front.

no not really, you just will have to remove the speaker cover panels from the side. If you still want those covers you will have to cut a hole in the plastic, im gona do that this weekend cause i dont like the way it looks without those covers.

You have a sedan I believe, so it is a pain to install the rear strut bar...but when you are done, it is completely hidden by the plastic/carpet behind the rear seats and under the rear shelf.

If you want to do it like I did, get the MUSSA rear bar..it is hexagonal tubing and is very strong and fit very well.

ya i shoulda clairified if he had a hatch back or sedan :( sorry

If you have a sedan, then the difference is hardly going to be noticeable...

04Elantra, what do you think? Could you tell much of a difference?

I thought it helped......but it could also be from the tib sway bar and front strut bar working together to make the car ride better.

If you dont mind spending $100 and you are going to install rear speakers (meaning access to the strut bolts will be easy), I'd say get the bar...it can only help!!!

Well, the difference is that in the rear of the sedan there's already some structure in place which should help keep the chassis pretty sturdy. That's why I think it's debatable. Jay had made the same comment. If I believed it would make any noticeable improvement, I'd buy one. But the fact is that of those 3 mods the sway bar is #1, the front strut bar is #2, and the rear strut bar is probably a distant 3rd at improving handling/steering feel with the sedan.

I have the Mussa rear strut bar o my GT, too, and adding it made a big difference in cornering. I'd already installed the Tib sway bar and a front EvoFusion strut bar, so I don't know about starting from totally stock, though...

^ Your car is a hatchback though, right?

I already have a sr strut bar. . . . . and trying to source out a Sway bar don't know which one is good. Are sway bars difficult to install.

Are they difficult to install? Not really. The bolts for the endlinks rust over time and they can be a pain to get off, but that's the only challenge really. There are plenty of techniques for breaking it loose... for me it wasn't a problem.

get a tiburon sway bar and then just spray the bolts on the endlinks every day for a couple of days before the install so that they loosen up. thats what I did.
