Solid rear brace?

I had to think about it for a minute, I just knew from having a UEO rear bar that it worked. But I felt I could and wanted to improve upon their design.

You & I forget when thinking about the 86 normally, that the front and rear sub-frames do not connect. And the rear subframe rails run up past the shock towers and back to the rear bumper. There is quite a bit of flex in our cars, thats why so many run some serious stitch welding, as well as weld in bracing via plates, bars & cages.

The placement of this rear bar ties the whole rear subframe together which in turns stiffens up the whole rear chassis including the 4-link & panhard areas. As well as the shock & spring seat areas. Tying together the whole of the rear suspension/chassis. (At least, I think. It's pretty late where I am right now and I've got to get up early for work)
