For the front, you'll probably have to redrill the holes unless you're lucky because these are usually meant for the BG Chassis (1st Gen).

The rear will fit IIRC, but you'll have to trim some of the metal away from inside the trunk around the strut tower, to allow the bar to fit

cool,

seen that the front wont match. the 2nd gen has 3 strut bolts while that brace has 4. its also rather thin where the new hole will need to go. then the other 2 holes will need to be welded shut.

seen a post about the rear. yeah, some metal triming to drop the ends then bolt the bar in so the wholes wont be so big.

thanks.

maybe a lil off topic but, how effective is a rear strut bar?

You can probably get away without welding the extra two holes shut, but that's not a bad idea.
