Body/Frame Bracing

Ok, looking around, I see all sorts of body and frame bracing.

Subframes
strut tower brace
g-load/chassis brace
wonderbar/steering brace.

This is all front end stuff, does anyone have/make anything for the rear besides a full roll cage??? Wouldn't the back need to be braced just as much as the front? You stiffen front up, then you have this loose wabbly rear end sliding all over the place.

Wow, Dewey, is that your car? If so does it make a difference? That seems like a pretty interesting idea.

well, not exactly what I was thinking, but it gives ideas. I plan on keeping mine a daily driver with bumpers still on.

Any others with some sort of rear bracing besides full rolls.
