    Any benefit from a rear shock brace on a P-body?

    Just curious if anyone has experience with a rear shock brace in a P-body? I know it's beneficial in G-bodies, and since P's are hatchbacks then there might be some gain in body stiffness.

    Anyone done it?

    Think one of the 3.0 P body guys had one.

    Oh by the way, think I remember there being a lot of discussion about 2 door P bodies flexing just ahead of the B pillar, and a full cage being a pretty good improvement to handling for that reason. Ergo, rear shock bars might be a bit marginal without additional stiffening.
