Default Ebay underchasis brace... legit?!?!!

What do you guys think...

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAP...40925

I haven't really ever looked into these set-ups so what i'm interested in is who else makes similar bars? competative pricing? Good design characteristics?

just curious

looks legit. Looks like the exhaust mid-pipe would definately rub and vibrate on it. Then there is clearance issues.

Strut bar alone helps, I can believe that is even better. Particularly if you bottom out it won't rotate the strut bar.

my buddy put something like this on his lowered 97 civic. it did help with handling a lot, but he actually got stuck going over a speed bump. then he got stuck again leaving the local mc donalds, which has a bit of a slope for the exit. the bar got hung right up. so, its your call. if the car you have isnt lowered too much, then id say go for it

I got one on my eg hatch. No clearance problems with a kamikaze header. You can tell a diff with a front tie bie also. Don't about the 1/4 mile though, haven't got a chane to go. I got mines last year for like $65 shipped when they first came out

I had a red one of these on my 2" lowered 98 EX...it was easy to put in on my dad's lift but when I tossed my turbo kit on here in atlanta without a lift it was a bitch cause I couldn't get my factory downpipe off my stock manifold and had to somehow get the brace loose to pull it all out.

on a side note, it will help get rid of wheel hop a good bit for you and it doubles as a skid plate mine was ALL kinda banged up from road dips etc but I'd rather this thing be banged up then my oil pan or suspension parts haha
