I'm thinking my original owner decided to save himself some cash when he installed this rear sway bar. I'm not sure if I should be thankful that he bothered to reinforce the trunk or pissed that he drilled holes to bolt some plates in.
Isn't it bad (like poor handling) to run a rear sway bar without a front? haven't I seen people recommend the opposite (a front and no rear)? There is no front bar, so I'm thinking I may just pull this whole thing off.  |

It's about roll stiffness. You can get roll stiffness by changing the springs (torsion bars in the front) or by the sway bars. So it's not necessarily a bad thing; drive the car and see how it feels.
