Does anyone have one of these or know anything about them? Image

I know you need to be racin' if you think one of those will make any discernible difference.

The Kizashi shell is already one stiff structure.

I think it can help stiffen things to a noticeable degree but like Weshoot2 said, the Kizashi is already a rather rigid vehicle. If you can find one, get a larger rear sway bar instead.

Thanks for the quick responses, I will look into the rear sway bar.

If I recall correctly, you are in Australia. I think Whiteline (Aussie company?) made one including some sway bar end links. Most of us Americans and Canadians have the RRM rear sway bar but those are now long gone from availability.
I also upgraded my rear sway bar bushings to polyurethane bushings from Moog after the ones that came with my RRM bar wore out and squeaked.

I believe the RRM one was basically a rebaged whiteline one as I saw another company do that as well for another marque.

As our car has aged, I do hear some chassis flex now. I might want to give this a try...if I can find it. :?

The RRM bar was made by Progress Technology and had a Progress part number on the box (# 62.2405), but I don't believe Progress ever sold it directly. I believe it was a run specifically made for RRM

I think this is accurate. The RRM bar is definitely made by Progress, not Aussie-based Whiteline.

I do still have the box in my basement, so I'm pretty sure :-)
