Rear Strut Bar for Convertible?

Will the Rear Strut Braces sold on Ebay, Stillen, AMZ, Z1, etc. fit on a Z32 Convertible?

I'm wondering if the Z32 CV even needs a rear strut brace. Reason I say that is there is a "wall" that comes up behind the seats / in front of trunk area that goes all the way across the car. Is that wall enough to hold the struts in line?

Also, how much cutting and trimming of the interior panels / trunk lining is required?

It should. Also, the strut bar that has been proven to work the best is the carbing strut bar. SPL sells it.

not sure about the fitment of each one of those but i know they make them; and off all the Z's the convertible needs on the most has it as the weakest structure as it has no top, for example the same reason the slicktop is stiffer than the t-tops

I think Russel's TT convertible has a rear strut tower brace. E-mail them and they may be able to send u some pics of their install. U may be able to find some partial pics on their website.
