Rear Tower Strut Bar?

I know the rear sway bar requires to drop the subframe but is there one for the rear strut bars that are located in the trunk?

Couldn't find this for some reason, do you think this would be tough to install? Thanks for sharing. Think this would improve handling?

Should be an easy install!

I can't say for sure how much of an impact it would have, but it is on my todo list. I want one.

I am having it on the IS for years and it's a great add-on.

I had them in my young kid days. but i would not recommend one as it wouldn't do anything for you.
if anything i would get a high quality front and call it a day.

Point is, this car isn't mod friendly, anything you do to it isn't going to drastically change anything. One could argue that car enthusiast actually spend more money on car aesthetics than engine modifications. It's much easier to buy wheels, lip kit, and springs rather than modifying engine components and making the car unreliable. I don't really understand the point of your post, honestly
