Looks like the one that mount to the real of the subframe behind the diff. I don't think it does much.

There are a lot of these rear tie bars on ebay.

I'd be interested to know what people think of them too...

Ive heard/read those are junk on a RWD car. I dont really see how it would help/benefit.

There was another thread on it awhile ago.

Is this supposed to be like the bars SPL sell to go across the rear of the subframe?

Not sure: "SPL subframe brace set S13 $211", I think so, with the addition of the 2nd bar too though.

bah, i've been away from NICO too long... i can't find that thread u are talking about; can some1 post it?

i've heard the other way around: junk on a FWD car... i mean if SPL has it as part of their "rear brace setup", then that 1 bar may be a "functional" mod & not just a "bling-bling" mod :P

i have the obx ones, its super thick and heavy then that tube bar style. it probably creates more drag under there.
