Upper Rear Strut bar?

[asylum24]

Does anyone know if the rear struts use the same bar as the fronts do? and if so think it would cause a clearance issue with my rear 6x9's?

nonono... I already posted on this and what you have to do ...

the rear bar is different. You would have to custom make it . The rear of the 2nd gen has 3 bolts instead of 2 like the 1st gen.

The rear bar for a 1st gen will fit but you just have to custom drill the holes. Which is a cinch .. let me find the link

So yes, you can use the same bar that you have on the front. 1gen, 2gens and mx3 use the same bar front and back.
I think B meant "...4 bolts like the first gen" and not 2 bolts. I had to drill for my fronts too...

Yeah, I had to drill for mine too. It really wasn't that hard.
