They were as titled a J's Racing C pillar and gate bars.
The J's Racing C pillar bar connects the tops of the rear seatbelt points and adds extra rigidity to the rear hatch of the car i.e Between the C pillars. If you don't know what a C pillar is, refer to the diagram below, it's pretty self explanatory ;)
The two gate bars which incidentally are discontinued now, connect from the ends of the C pillar bar to mounting points at the rear hatch of the boot.
You may have noticed above that I have holes cut out at the rear quarter interior boot trim to access the rebound adjusters on my Nitron coilovers. Further to this you can see that the holes were tidied up with some edge trim so I decided to do the same to the gaps around the mounting points of the gate bars which you can see below.
So do they make a difference? Let's be honest here. They will increase rigidity, but it is highly unlikely you will feel a difference. The major factor of why I got these was because I unexpectedly came across these at a price I just couldn't refuse :)
