New rear seat braces

Hey Guys. I just bought a set of rear seat braces from a company called No Limit Industries. These are real nice looking,and a lot stronger then the other ones. There made out of 1/4" aluminum flat bar. Take a look at my pics.

Looks good. Always good to have different options to choose from instead of having to buy from one company.

Wow, they do look good. But can anybody who has installed rear seat braces (any manufacture) give a little feedback on if they actually felt any difference with them?? They just don't LOOK like they would make a difference in the stability of the car. Anybody??? Thnxs in advance.

After I installed mine.(Kirbins) Reversing out of the driveway. It felt like all the bolts in the back got tightened up. Car felt more solid.

You can tell the difference in the ride of your car big time. If you thought your car was solid already. Put a set of rear seat braces on and feel the difference.

How the heck did you find those? Can't locate them on any website? Any links?

You can make a set for less than 10$ from Lowes or Home Depot.

I'm wondering if they really did anything for that car since it already has a full cage in there.
Those being made from aluminum flat stock is only going to give you strength in one direction since flat stock bends easily. Those made from tubing will end up providing more strength even if its the thick electrical conduit pipe (don't use the thin stuff) from HD for $9.95 and an hours time flating the ends and installing.

I kinda doubt that it would make any difference with a cage installed.....other than add weight
