Hey guys I plan on ordering these, but was wondering if I need the rear strut tower bar. If I don't need the rear, I plan on ordering just the front and then getting the rear once I have the money. Thanks.

The front will give you the master cylinder brace which is the big benefit from the brace. If you can only get one at this time go with the front and then get the rear when you have some more cash.

Yeah, having one up front doesn't mean you have to have the back one. I have both, but I got the front one a good two years before I put the rear one on.

I hate the rear causes it destroys your trunk. Saw another strut that goes flat against the floor of trunk. Way better.

Recommend the rear strut that is flat against the floor of the trunk too. There are actually 2 or 3 companies that make this type. Don't get a rear that will f*ck up your trunk space.

I don't really use my trunk at all other than maybe my laptop and most of the time it rides shotgun. But, which is proven to be I guess the better choice; flat or the one that kills all hope of sticking a body in the trunk?
