Rear Strut Bars

Heya Guys,
Considering purchasing a Cusco rear strut bar for my SW20, in the hope to reduce the flex of the body, this is oh so aparent in the targe SW20's.
There is only a rear strut bar available, is this going to cause any handling issues if I dont fit a front strut bar also?
Installation, is it a simple undo the screws on top of the struts, or is there are need to do anything with the suspension?
No idea on suspension stuff obviously...
Thanks

Hey Alchy, it's fairly much a simple bolt-on job. The nuts come off, the strut brace goes on, the nuts get replaced again. I doubt you'll have any fitment issues, but I am wondering where you get Cusco strut braces from? Not that long ago, they were a very difficult find... 
Suspension issues - front vs. rear, you'll notice more flex in the rear of the chassis without this bar, as opposed to the front obviously. Does your rear strut bar mount in the boot as well? The tops of your struts would be accessible this way I'd presume, where the bar would span across the boot.

Hi Mate,
Next time I see you I'll have to pop the back my MR2, the struts are actually in the engine bay, so the brace would run right across the top of the engine. The nuts are all easy to access, I just wasn't sure if they were under any "pressure" per se.
