Rear is $115 USD shipped and front is $150USD shipped. I am getting the rust on my strut towers fixed and I figure it wouldnt be a bad idea to get them.

The only problem that I see with the front, is that everytime you want to change your spark plugs or check them or whatever, you’ll have to unbolt all that shit. Other than that, they look pimp.
It is 6 bolts aaron…but yeah they look nice and the rear would probably give some good support.
Hehe from that site I gave you. The front strut towers need you to do a bit of drilling into the firewall, but it’d probably be a bit better than just a normal strut tower.
PM me about your strut towers, I’m kinda wondering as to how it’s going with the repair of them.
The trunk braces are rumored to be good if your chassis has a lot of flex - but unless you’re going to autox the car, it’s probably not necessary.
I don’t see how these strut bars would limit your access to the spark plugs anymore than a normal strut tower bar. Once you take out the bolts holding the cover on, it should slide out the front underneith the bar, it would just depend if it lined up verticaly with a plug to limit your access to a indiviadual plug or not.
I have heard (Don’t remember where) that these braces that connect to the car and the strut towers decrease the twisting and flexing found in these areas by as much as 40% more than just a strut tower bar. Thankfully I have a coupe so the rear bar is unnesasary, but fot a hatch I would have to say it looks great and makes sense. I have wanted to find a cheaper one of these for the front of my car for a while, beacause most of the other ones I found were not available for the S13 chassis.
