X bar, Rear strut bar and c pilar bar

[mnc]

I own a jdm dc2r and I just love taking corners.... no joke. I'm pretty sure you guys do to. It's just in our nature for type R drivers to do so . Anyhows I am in the market for some body reinforcement mods and was thinking about getting a rear strut + c pillar or an x bar. Can i get some advice whether I should get them at all.

P.S. Where can I get x bars from? (located in Melbourne)

Cheers

I have a X-bar in my dc2 and i love it.
the car turns in much tighter. without it the car would understeer and you really have to fight it to corner properly.

i prefer the x-bar over the strut + c pillar combo for three reasons

a)cost
b)retain rear passenger headroom (with the c-pillar rear passengers heads will be resting on it, not a good idea)
c)it will connect 4 stress points into 1 stress point instead of 2+2

and i think having all three would be overkill, of course having all three would be more beneficial in increasing the rigidity of the car but the difference is negligible even without factoring in the added cost not to mention weight.

i've got a teizy sport x bar..
which consists of a c-pillar, rear strut AND x bar..

had creaks and rattles before..
all gone after installation.. also the fact that the rear seemed a lot better in regards to handling..

How many seconds faster were you around a race circuit after installing the aforementioned bars?
