3 HK member did a easer mod by cutting it and welding other pip on which is much cleaner.

Found this video showing a fitment issue of the lower rear bar on some models.

Yes that right, if you have AS the front 1 will not fit, this has been known from 2 years ago when I got my 2 set

AS stands for Active Suspension or what? And how do you check to see if your vehicle has AS without actually going under the car?

yes AS stands for Active Suspension
just like the video say there is a big round cylinder in the middle of the sway bar.

Ah just checked under my vehicle and I have that big round cylinder. Looks like I'm going to email the vendor that sold me it and ask if I can get a partial refund back since it was my error for not checking before I ordered it. Will also ask him if he will sell me the front lower one if he lets me get a partial refund back, maybe then he'll agree.

I did however already install the front strut bar, and one of the lower rear bars and you can feel the difference immediately, I am loving it.

Been living with my front lower bar and upper shock tower bar installed for a few weeks now.

The one thing I notice twice a day now is when go in and out of my driveway which twists up the car. Prior to the bars, I never had any sort of popping noise from the chassis twisting but now I can tell the front end has been really re-enforced. As the front end goes over the bump and up the incline at an angle, I get a popping sound from the rear glass area.

I would do a rear shock tower bar if I could find one.

I have been looking for this for over 5 years and no 1 makes them
maybe I DIY 1

Is it bad that you are getting a popping noise?

NoQuarter

I don't think I consider it bad... just evidence that tighenting up the front end was effective and concentrated the twisting stress to the rear. The twisting in this case is an extreme due to the driveway - something I wouldn't encounter on any decent road.
