Looking good. Is the sedan rear strut bar installed in the same spot?

i think the sedan's rear brace is different.

yeh it all depends on how u use ur trunk i guess. my gf barely uses hers and she wants her versa to handle better..rear sway bar is next..seems like the sedan rear brace is a lot bigger and takes more room?

Dont really use it much, but I love how clean it looks. And not really, it looks like it's flat, I wouldn't be able to put the side panels back on though. :frown:

yeh it sucks that the panels have to come off. but some ppl make that sacrifice for performance.

Thats true, I'll probably get it and cut the panels to make it fit WITH the panels. :biggrin:

lol i was actually thinking of doing that to my gf's..take a dremel and just make an oval shaped cut to have the strut go thru it. but then i dont wanna mess it up. i could by a set to practice with. theres a guy in the forum that has a rear brace for his sedan you should check it out. btw my gf loves the way her V handles now..i still want to get the whole ULTRA RACING chassis parts for the V on her car..the Nissan dealership where she got her car loves it..its the only Versa in her area thats modded..they wanted to give her 15K for her 07 just cz of all the mods i did to it but she passed then wrecked it :(

the guy at the service shop told her it felt like he was driving a track car lol

I like the way this looks ...

I may just get the rear sway bar, I use my trunk area too much to install this one! But it looks great!

If it's attached to the rear shocks between the rubber insulators then it's more for show then go...a true strut bar would be attached to the shock towers and go from tower to tower in as strait of line as you could and this one angle's forward so you can still use the trunk area....unless the design has changed since I last saw/worked with one. The same goes for there rear sway bar.....it's just follows the stock rear suspension beam and if you've ever had a chance to see a Versa/Cube rear suspension beam out of the car.....it's heavier then hell and would take a lot to flex!

I noticed that on the dealer lot.
Sounds like many people very happy with front strut bar, and an upgrade bargain too! :biggrin:

So why is the rear sway bay more expensive than the front and rear lower braces? I wondered the same thing as well. The rear sway bar just runs along the suspension beam..it can't possibly do too much
