APC Front Strut Tower Bars
This is my decision unless they're absolutely horrible. I need all of your input on this. Can anyone (don't know if this is the right word) "vouche" for the quality of these? They're cheap and I've read up on other people with em and I wanna know how good they are....do they bend easily after taking hard turns repeatedly...etc. Was planning on getting a rear upper too after this.

Re: APC Front Strut Tower Bars (lax1185)
I've heard in the past EBay ones aren't reliable. Besides...the APC's aren't marked with the company name on their (atleast I don't think...from pictures it doesn't look like they are) so I can just say I got EBays anyways
And speaking of EBay...I found these after I posted so I'll show you....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1
How reliable do you think those actually are? I'd rather put my money on an APC but I'm actually thinking of getting those now that I think of it

Well that would be in the eye of the beholder. Some people actually like to have their car look like what some consider to be ricey.
Anyway....what is the difference. Some people will say why buy ebay/apc stuff. Get the "real" stuff.
Others will say a strust bar is a strut bar is a strut bar. Do people REALLY think the ones on ebay that got for like $45 bucks for 4 bars is ANY BETTER than what APC sells....
I have rode in a car before and after ebay stuff and the difference was noticeable and they did their job and are still holding up. I have also read success stories from other peopel who have used the ebay bars. I HIGHLY doubt the APC product is any worse than the cheap stuff on ebay as far as quality is concerned.

because it says APC????? okay....thats a good reason.
I dont support them and I am not trying to stick up for them, but I have difficulty believing that they could be of worse quality over those cheap ebay ones. I dont have first hand knowledge of the product specifically bought from APC so I cant really speak to their quality.
