Is the Mason rear stress bar installed on the black car? If so, do you take to CnC? It would be cool to see it in person...

Yes the black car is running the bar. The car is taken to CNC every one and a while.

It does help with a proper coilover setup. However the car is noticeably stiffer with a regular springs setup (like we are running). The design mitigate stress applied to trunk floor pan and rear differential mounting point as well while still strengthening rear chassis between the shock towers. Under heavy powered e30s the trunk actually "moves". The floor brace on this strut bar eliminates that.
