Backseat bracing

[Captain Awesome]

Hoping someone can help me out here. Bought a t-top car..yeah I know all the stories about them. I live in Florida...can't go without t-tops. Wanted some advice on the two types of backseat brace kits at Kirban. Recommendations? I'm leaning toward the large brace, looks like a big "W" for $150. Are they hard to install? Any mods I need to make to the trunk or seat frame?

As always thanks in advance for the advice.

Before you do the brace, do the body mounts.....

is it bad doing the brace first?

If the body is skewed on the frame, it's not a good idea to try tying it in that position w/ a brace........

I put in Kirbans rear seat x bracing that were the X bars and not the sheet metal W you referred to.

I also put BILSTEIN shocks all around. Both of those really stiffened the car alot and it is a T-TOP car also.

Car rides and handles very well.

With the x braces I noticed an immediate improvement in the cars stiffness.
