They look and feel cheap. Once they are on the car, grab the bar and shake it hard. It will bend all over the place.


You get what you pay for.

yes, they're worth it. keep in mind that they have joints which eliminates the integrity whereas non-jointed strut bars have no flex.

if you can weld around the joints it would prolly help alot more as well

if you want to go for the looks, go for DC or any other major brand but ebay work just fine. strut bar is strut bar. they have only one job and every one of them works.

benen, spoon, and mugen all make quality bars. carbing and the triagulated bars are "the best" you can get

if money is an issue, ebay will get the job done
