TF Rear pillar and trunk bar review.

Touge Factory trunk bar. Connects the two subframe rails together from the top. (same stiffening spot as the do-luck rear ladder bar (won't fit usdm 240 ) but from the top instead of the bottom). Fits USDM 240sx TOO

This is a picture of my trunk, they used my car for the pictures for the sight.

Touge Factory rear Pillar bar. connects to the stock rear seat belt mounts to stiffen the rear chassis.

Not my car but same bar.

The install of both was very easy same thing as a strut bar.

I had gotten these bars because I had some slight understeer problems that I wanted to get ride of.
The trunk bar by itself helped a little with the corner exit brought the rear end around smoother and felt a more controlable. (didn't solve the understeer)

With the addition of the pillar bar it helped counter the understeer very well. The rear end now feels very stiff and controlled. The corner entry I know a some of the understeer is now gone. The mid corner feels amazing, big difference. The corner exit is much more controlled oversteer (staggered tires would help with that). All together the car is quieter inside don't have that much rattling any more.

My entry speed was about 30mph when I was testing this for a 90 degree turn.

The two bars helped alot especially the pillar bar. The car feels balanced finally I just want to be able to add more power coming out and that is what 245/40/17's in my basement are for .

I give the two of these a 9/10. only down side is 200 for the both of them.
