You could go legit and get a Miracle Cross Bar by Next, but that'll run you at least 600$ US without the "butterfly arms" (I believe they're called)
I was looking at getting one for myself.

There is no point at all, performance-wise. All these bars with bolted connections are really pretty useless, interior or no interior. Bolted connections can rotate, which kind of defeats the point.

Bars such as those shown above are ONLY for looks, and not much else.

You need bars with all rigid construction (no turnbuckles, no spherical heim joints or anything), or a welded roll bar or cage to see any kind of performance enhancement.

thats what a lock nut is for! all those joint actually do something if u understand how they work, you have the strut bar and 2 eye bolt joint at the end once you attach them to your rear shock they have no where to go, the lock nut keeps them in place, yeah a wleded roll cage is the way to go but at far as someone trying to put some rigidness in their ride a strut tower bar will do the job! im not saying you can go and put a front a rear setup than go to the circle track and take turns at 80mph but as far as street wise they will do

Trust me, if you put enough force in the right direction, a bolted connection WILL move, no matter what. A bolted connection is ALWAYS weaker than the surrounding material, whereas a welded connection is usually stronger than the surrounding material if it's done right.

This is why your chassis is (mostly) welded together instead of bolted, since bolted connections can and will move.

Take this pic from above for example. This all just looks like an insanely WEAK connection. I highly doubt there was any sort of force or stress testing or modeling R&D work put into that design.

^^^ AGREED! All looks and no gains. Upgraded sway bars with good suspension and tires are the best choice. All that crap is not needed.

Just get a weld-in cage from SafeDrives, not only will it be cheaper but the performance gains will far exceed anything these little x braces can do and they have a safety purpose too! All the joints with multiple fish eye bolts look like they would be very weak and probably wouldn't make the chassis much more rigid than it is out of the factory.
