jasons Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I chose to weld one across the rear suspension top mounts, then diagonal (both ways) from the 5mm plate I welded to the suspension mount to either seat belt top anchor points.It cost the cost of the metal and the time to cut and weld.I was put of by these bars with a bit of thread as they look like they could flex a fair bit.The chaps who still race the zs saloons tend not to bother with upper rear bracing so much, but weld directly across the rear lower arm mounts, welding direct rather than bars and bolts.I had a hatch, which isn't as stiff as a saloon, so I chose to cross brace as well.all depends how much of a standard looking car you are willing to sacrifice for cornering ability, but to be honest, I wouldn't bother unless you are going to trackday it.You would be better of with zs180 suspension and rear arb first - assuming you haven't already done this?
