I think monster motor works makes one or you can do like i did and make one out of steel. It does help when u work in a fab shop too.

a new rear sway bar would offer better handling gains than a strut brace....just something to consider

No, there is no point adding a rear strut bar except for show points. I asked someone who races a tC on track and mentioning a rear strut bar made him chuckle. It's a placebo effect: "I spent $$$ on this part, so it must be doing something".

we dont need 1 b/c the area where it braces is already stiff b/c thats the chassis. If the tC actually had strut towers like on a xA, then it may be more worth it.
