Does this bar connect to the tops of the rear struts? How is it handling so far? I have the progress rear 24mm sway bar and was looking for a rear strut bar, which there is this one and then there is that trunk brace that sirimotor has. Do you have an upgraded rear sway bar?

Yes, bolts to top of rear shock tower. Handles great, I have sirimoto front upper strut bar, hasport rear mount, swift spec r springs, ct engineering rear sway bar and fkx rear tower bar.

Hello ladies, wanted to tell you about my failures and learning experience. Since my clutch valve delay removal I did, SS clutch line, MTEC Springs, Acuity shifter bushings, but I guess I've always had air in the line, thus why I hated the shifts this whole time of the car. Engaged like crap, never consistent and felt like all these things I did made it worse.

Fast forward, I installed a speed bleeder 300 miles ago. Again, I managed to not have it tight enough, but it got loose after some time and my clutch pedal went soft Friday morning. I'm surprised I made it to work. Came home, I flushed the whole entire system this time. I didn't screw around since I knew there was air in the system. After say 30 minutes of flushing it out, wasting brand new fluid and my inexperience, tightened up the bleeder, and hot damn. I have one hell of a clutch pedal now. Firm, the engages are so different now, not jerky, very easy to gauge and easy to control.

tl;dr I've had a little bit of air in the system for the last 6k miles with shitty clutch pedal. but hey, speed bleeders are great :)

Well.....Had to plug a tire today. Picked up a big *** nail somewhere, can't think of any construction sites I had been through. But either way, it seems to be holding up fine.

Did some detailing over the weekend. Car was already clean so I didn't clay bar, but I used used Meguiar's compound followed by Klasse all in one, 2 applications of Klasse sealant glaze, topped with P21 carnauba. Looks fantastic and should get me through the winter.
