Solid parts, solid value
The rear stress bar was worth every penny, it looks and feels very well manufactured and was easy to install. I haven't been able to track test it yet but the car immediately feels more stable during spirited road driving. I've also got FSWerks' lower front stress bar and I can't wait to see how these work together for the autocross season. FSWerks knocks it out of the park again!

Stress Bar
For the price it's a great piece, you have to remove everything in the trunk to install it but its pretty straight forward. I'm very happy with the quality I highly recommended it!

Thank you :-)
Best Stress Bar and Best Value
Simple and quick to install, great build quality. Makes a noticeable difference. Compared to other really bulky and heavy bars around this was the best since I get to keep my cargo space and you can’t beat the price! Highly recommend
United StatesExcellent Service!
I needed to pick up quickly. They were very responsive to my request, and had my order ready very fast.
United StatesGreat addition
The strut bar is great and feels extremely stable around corners and is a very noticeable difference at high speed. Installation was easy and replaced the sketchy OEM strut bolts with nice bolts that feel much more secure. I would definitely recommend this strut bar to any ST owner.

Thank you John :-)
Piece of cake
Install was flawless and my car handles so much better in those hard dips and turns. Noticed a difference immediately after installing. Adds rigidness to the rear and overall tightens everything up.
United StatesThis bar is fantastic!
I bought the rear sway bar from steeda and didnt notice anything at all in handling increases at higher speed driving. Bought the rear strut bar from fswerks, fixed the understeer issue immediately. Its not very noticeable at lower speeds but once you hit long sweeping corners you definitely feel the bar keeping the rear stable through cornering. Highly recommended for spirited driving or track use.
United StatesDid more than I thought it would
This is apparently what my build was missing. Tightened the rear end up nicely. Feels more stable on the highway and long sweeping turns. Build: Bilstein Sport shocks, Ford racing springs, rear sway bar, front traction bar
United StatesFS Werks Rear Stress Bar
Highly recommended, tightens up the rear end of the car substantially, def a mod you can feel in the twisties. Did the job on ramps in no time, no plastic or carpet removal needed. Recommend for any ST/RS owner. Thanks FS Werks

Top quality product, shipped to australia in no time, easy install
A must have for the ST
Quality product! Tightened up the rear of the car and keeps the car from wanting to drift at high speeds through a curve. I had purchased a Steeda bar and it was crap and that’s all I’ll say about that. If you’re on the fence go with FSWerks, you won’t be disappointed. Install was a breeze(already installed one that wouldn’t fit)
A must have
I was very happy I had this part installed on the car by fswerks before my trip to willow springs. The car performed better than I could have imagined along with the front lower stress bar. My ST performed amazingly on the track in the high speed turns at willow.
FSWERKS
Thanks for your track feedback Jeff :)
Rear stress bar
Great bar no longer have the rear end feeling loose on high speed turns ST feels secure and planted
Handling
I purchased this and a rear strut tower bar and my handling has never been better. On top of the tighter chassis I haven’t felt any torque steer in the smallest amount. Highly recommend for any ST owner, without this lower tie bar and rear strut tower bar you will never be able to get the full power out of your ST in a safe and controlled manner.

My experience with FSWERKS has been great, the item that I purchased was sent out to my home in Australia super fast, I received the item in just under 2 weeks. The product itself I’m super happy with and have installed it in my car. A big thank you. Kind regards, Blake
Stress bars
High recommend. Stiffness up the suspension
Great product
The bar itself was great. Well made. The only trouble I ran into was the plastic covers on my car.
