Cool Strut bars and hinges??
way do most strut bars have hinges i look around and i cant find the answer wouldn't that defeat the purpose of stiffening up the chassis and letting it still flex??? because dc sports offers one with out hinges and im probley going to go with thos because its all one piece and i know it will do its job.

would having just the front make a difference? I don't want a bar through my cargo area.

yes actrully it probley would be better to have one in the back since u have your motor up front to stabilize it already. but i hear u can feel a difference with just a front one and if u put oe in teh back its perrty much out of the way of everything. its right on the back seats perrty much.
