Hi there everyone. I was looking around ebay today for some suspension items when I ran aross this <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33591&item=2446419 255
" TARGET="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...255
</A> It says it comes with 1 Front upper ,1 front lower Tie, 1 rear Upper and 1 Rear Lower tie strut bar. Just wanted to know what some peoples opinion was on it.

I also saw this fake mugen strut bar http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...69668 It looks like it would be pretty sturdy any opinions?

Thanks,
Dan

That 4 piece looks really flimsy.

cityofcaterpillars

Yeah I thought it looked kinda flimsy too but it's a good price for the kit.

None of the bars even look remotely like a Mugen bar.

THIS is a fake mugen bar

yea they do look a little weak

if you wanna be ebay special bars, then find some that look descent in thickness

try to find one that looks like a skunk2 or spoon since they are basically the same

Thats the one the second link goes to.
I will look into the fake skunk2 and spoon ones. Thanks for all the replies.

try to stay away from three piece strut bars...they offer pivot points, which you don't want. one piece strut bars are much more effective.

i have the same set-up you posted along with a c-pillar bar

i didn't get amazing results but i can't complain for the price

the first ones sucks my cousin told me about those they really dont do nothing and if you auto cross and stuff like that alot you can break them.

cityofcaterpillars

I'm defidently not getting the first one. I was just looking around for cheaper options cause I can't see a point in paying over a $100 for some of the name brand ones (yes I know lot's of time was spent on R&D)

There was one strut bar I really like I think it was Cusco or Comptech? or something like that. But it was kinda triangle shaped and looked like it attached to the firewall. I'll try and find a pic.

Cheers,

benen makes one that bolts to the firewall carbing too. nuespeed makes a 4 point but it dont bolt to firewall

cityofcaterpillars

carbing!! That's what it was. Know where I could find one of these? or the others you mentioned?

-Trinitron-

I was looking at the cheapo tower bars on ebay. Apparently the type-r replica ones are "supposed" to be half way decent.

http://www.tornactive.com/
they got the benen one and the nuespeed one too i think

cityofcaterpillars

Wow that Carbing one is kinda pricey but very very nice. Anyone have any experience with this one or the Benen?

Cheers,

i have the fake mugen bar. It is a quality bang for the buck.

thats a pic of mine.
didn't notice a differance but thats the only suspension mod i have.

my girl bought it for me for my birthday cause she liked it haha. 40 shipped off ebay. so i can't complain.

cityofcaterpillars

how does it look quality wise? Does it feel sturdy?

ek9vboi

its a pos. what is ebay selling for? i have 1, ill sell that pos any daY!!!

Nader_D

i was looking into those also, the 4 set i would touch, cause i dont want those tie bars to be actual important parts. but the front strut and rear strut (the one that goes in the hatch i believe) is what im looking at. for 25-35$ pff who cares!

OG LL C

Ewww. thats not the real deal.

underrated

The Mugen replica sucks ***. I tried a friends one and the bolts moves so it does nothing. I tightened them down super tight and did some hard driving. When I checked the bolts the moved alot.

I wouldn't get it.

Snail Tuning

hmm mine didn't move, quility looks ok, but it was alittle twisted, or my frame is twisted, because it needed pressed down in order to get it bolted into place. might be beenaficial if i had good shocks, springs, camber kit, lower, tiebars, but i don;t and i have no idea how many miles are on my suspension. blew my headgasket so im rebuilding a z6 so until its finished i have no money for suspension.

Airbag Club

real deal and best of all, i only paid $100 for it!!!

cityofcaterpillars

how much does the real deal Mugen cost? and where did you find it at. I still think I'll go with the Carning.
