I need a rear strut bar, not a front one. So if its for the rear I would be in for that.

FYI, the front bar don't do anything other than looks good and you have something to hold on while working in the engine bay.

one of my 1st mods was the front one. did nothing and sold it a long time ago.
The back one will make a bigger difference.

the front bar serves little purpose due to the fact that strut mounts are so close to the fire wall. there isnt alot of flex there as it is so its more for looks.

strut bars don't do much, if anything, if they don't triangulate back to a hard point (ie, firewall).
What good is tying together two points that you think need the support because they flex?
If you want your car to handle better, it may be prudent to just save up money for some better tires... as it stands, strut bars on the focus are just weight adders.
