Default rear straut bar
Does anyone know who makes or sells a rear straut bar for the Gen 1.

Additionally, I believe XI still sells adjustable front and rear strut bars for Camber

honestly, you can make one with a paperclip and some wire cutters really easy.

Old pic, from early '09. I bet its a lot more dirty now. One of the racers from our Xmods of Tulsa group hasn't cleaned his car in 3-4 years. Before each race he squirts some fresh lube on the necessary areas. Races the same car, with same OEM components from his original purchase in 2003!!!

i doubt it needs it really. just use a soft-spring monoshock with 2 soft-spring regular shocks, and you'll have good enough rear control

I actually perfer to run without it..... It does not allow both rear wheels to compress at the same time, you'd be better off keeping a stock suspension and just adding a evo shock over that IMO.

Forget everything else you see, I'm referring to the rear shock/cantilever setup in this pic. I really like this idea. Not sure how real-world functional it would be, but I'd like to try it.

Not to thread jack, but any reviews from those who've modded regarding the REAR CANTILEVER DELETE?
