Yes you can fit a strut brace to the rear of a MY02 (used to have one fitted)
From memory remove the back seats to expose the struts and then bolt on

forgot to say it was a saloon not the estate
Whiteline might still have the instructions on how to fit them

There's an upper and lower available for the rear. The main question is usually is it worth fitting, to which the answer is normally no. Unless you've already stiffened the springs, ARB's and droplinks, by which time there may be some flex starting to happen on the newage very rigid chassis, but the ride will be so hard you may think twice about taking it any further.
