does anyone have the pic of the roof bar kit along with this trunk cage kit? and is this thing really just for a bling bling show and hanging these baby clothes that everyone is talking about or does it really work?

It is fake ricer junk. It does nothing useful to stiffen the car and is purely there to look cool to people who don't know any better.

a rear strut tower brace that LastLookCustoms sells would be more of a useful tool then this junk. i wouldn't reccomend it but to hang baby clothes and amps.

Jeez! The Weapon contraption looks like someone fabbed up with parts from the local Ace hardware...

If you want to reduce body roll, a strut brace won't do it.
Suspension.
Anti-sway bar, serious coils, serious dampers.

A functional harness bar MIGHT stiffen the body torsionally. Maybe. But that's not what it's designed to do.

Something not many people consider regarding handling is lowering your seat height with a racing seat or something like that. For me, that would be lowering the center of gravity for 200lbs. That's almost 10% of the car's weight

i could just see it now, you are passing through a green light and some idiot in a big truck runs a red light and annihilates the rear end of the side of your xb, and this weapon r system breaks and either smashes some ones skull in or impales them.

Even that's pretty much useless... except for destroying what little trunk space there is.
