I doubt any sort of rear strut brace could fit on the rear of a Soarer. You've got a fuel tank in the way, and possibly a subwoofer or air purifier in the way as well.

most likely, unless with a custom job. Maybe get some broom sticks and support the corners of the boot? :P

Paint the broom sticks silver though. Performance matters.

Why would you want one? The soarer body is that stiff as it is, you WILL NOT notice ANY differance. Unless you intend on making it a permanent race car, or want the wank factor that you have a strut brace that does nothing and that no one can see?

calm down mate.... no need to be rude! i was actually interested in this as well. for being such a heavy car i bet that under heavy conering that a rear strut brace will help in taking the flex out of the rear end. if supras, chasers and aristos adopt them then why would a soarer not need them.

There are Soarer compatible rear strut braces available in Japan that clears the fuel tank.

Look for it in Yahoo Japan.

I have seen that one as well .Jason There are to many bends in the design and which will cause flexing in the brace anyway so theres no point i guess. The front end may make a difference. If you drive like me it should lol.

True about the design of the rear brace, however I would imagine the rear brace would not experience as much 'twisting' force as compared to the front; being the engine and most of the weight is at the front.

In any case, unless you are doing full on racing there's no point. But if you do, you might as well replace the fuel tank and fit a custom straight brace.
