that they do, they arent nearly as stiff as rollbar/roll cage. But i have to daily my hatch and i need a rear seat from time to time. The rollbar just wasnt practical for me

It makes perfect sense. Practicality is important. Do you have a swaybar setup + suspension as well? Do you notice the difference in body rigidity with the bars on and off? Just curious, I actually thought about picking up a set... and wanted some feedback.

Re: (HatchSteer)
i have front/rear sway bars, complete energy bushing set, gc and tokico illuminas. front upper strut bar, and a rear lower to go along with the emracing set up. Yes i did notice a slight difference with them on and off. I didnt notice really anything with the triangle pieces on or off. Just with the rear upper, c pillar and trunk bar was i able to notice anything at all. The 2 triangle bars i pretty much for bling.
Any question feel free to pm me

just get some thin 1/4" hollow pipe, then get some rod ends with spherical bearings, then amkie the mounts out of plate stainless or something, couple cuts, small welds, done.
Could prob cost 50$ to make

^^ just add my views on the EMracing bars,
i must admit, i brought a set of EMracing tri bar setup (rear strut tower bar, Rear trunk bar, and the trianglated bar) after seeing it in cars like gambits, and i thought it looked bling
(hey, im being honest here!!!) that and they where on a very very good group buy deal from a local vendor,
anyhoo... i put these onto my new project sedan i just purchased, it was completly stock standard, with 190,000kms on the clock, worn shocks / springs, factory 13" hubbies,
well, there was a corner in an industrial area i took the corner and tried handbrake slide, without the bars fitted, it wouldnt slide, just body roll, with the bars fitted, it locked up and had a decent slide,
so i guess they did work, they did improve the stiffness in the rear.
only thing is, becareful not to over tension the bars, the holes where the trunk bar bolts to the floor, actually flexed and tore out, tearing out the nut,
other than that, very well made product,
oh, i have since upgraded the rest of my suspension, D2 Adjustable suspension, EK9 Brakes and hubs, Front ITR crossmember, with Front ITR Sway bar, Rear Progress sway bar, Spoon Lower tie bar, Spoon Front tower bar, so she handles pretty mint now....
