The rear brace requires removal or modification of the interior. Notice the eBay auction shows it installed with all the panels removed from a sedan. Not very practical.

I was excited to find one of these subframe braces off a C70 at a P&P. "Was" being the key word. Must have missed the part that said that this brace will not fit an AWD model. The rear part of the brace bolts up where the carrier bearing bracket resides on an AWD and with the axle and exhaust routed like they have to be in an AWD, the C70 subframe brace dosen't fit.
The C70 brace mounts flat, and would bolt right if not for the exaust and design of the carrier bearing bracket.
