As the topic states, i would like to stiffen up my chassis and prob remove the back seat. Which location at the back would be the best suited to install this strut brace? also anybody did the underneat for the front?

This is what I have on my car
and I'm going to make the front strut bar fit on my festi next sumer it's for a 323
BPT, G5M-R, BP26 Exintake swap + Fidanza cam gear, NSRT4 FMIC + 2.5" piping, HKS SSQV BOV, Exedy clutch, 3" downpipe + 2" all the way back, Aspire brake swap, KYB GR-2 & FMS coil spring , FMS EURO body kit + Carbon fiber hood, Falcon RTX 15X6½ + Toyo proxes T1R 195/45R15 -
For a rear brace, it all depends on whether or not you want your plastic trim and/ or seat to remain. If the answer is no, just get a steel bar , cut it to length, hammer the ends flat, and weld it to the strut towers wherever you see fit. (Middle-edge is best)
This position will need adjustment if you have a backseat, as it will hit the said bar. You could move it back to the walls behind the strut towers, which would still work but not quite as noticeably. (as it would still allow some flex at the strut towers.
The best way is the first option, with added triangulation from the center of the bar down to each corner where the strut towers meet the floor. I plan on doing that in my car sometime in the next month.
As for front lower, do what Aaron did.
