Just wondering if anyone else is using one of these? It's an adjustble bar between the top of the shock towers in the trunk.

About 20 years ago there was a local pca guy was making and selling these for 911's and boxters. He said I could use one on my car. I opened the trunk lids and he said, "oh, you don't need it. Your strut towers are already connected".

These braces make sense for a strut suspension like the front of a 911 where there can be some flex in shock towers, which impacts suspension geometry. For the rear of a 914, movement in shock towers does not cause change in suspension geometry, so I don't see the point ...
