Default strut bar question

Hey I had been thinking of buying a new strutbar for my del sol lately, so I went on ebay and saw that people were selling combo kits that contained a front and rear strut bar, some other kits that had the front and rear strut bars along with two tie bars. My question is where does the rear strut bar go, in the trunk or under the car? and where do the tie bars go? =/

Here are some examples to my question...

2 go underneath your car, 1 goes in your trunk, and 1 goes in your engine bay. just stick it in there and you'll notice a difference, guarenteed

yah thiers not much of a difference between egay **** and anyone elses. a bar is a bar, guess u could go off of what its made out of, but in the end its still a bar. i bought the eg6 strut bar from h motors for cheap, still think its the best, and the rest of my bars egay. good stuff. anyway, you really don't need additional hardware for the tie bars just get the bolts out of your lca's and ur good. and then tighten it all back up.

How does the rear strut bar fit in my trunk, and where do I bolt it on? I still need to use my trunk, so i can have a place to hold my roof.

(pic). under ur oem plastic cover ****.

front strut = engine bay on tower struts
rear strut = trunk on tower struts
front tie = lca's? (look it up)
rear tie = connects lca's

sway bars do the most tho. but watch out, those have been known to rip ur subframe even with reinforcements or what not.
