Just about true. Strut bars dont really do anything for you. If you have all 8 or so bars then it would give you better handling but 1 or 2 wont.

Get one from Ebay. Don't listen to all the Ebay haters on here, it's just a piece of metal that does the exact same thing as all the others, for much less money too.

name brand will only get you a good resale value

ebay will get you next to nothing in resale (generally speaking)

both do basically the same thing, and were not on a race team so both will suit us all fine.

get the name brand if you want to get most of your moneyback in a resale if you change cars, get in a wreck etc...

and get the ebay stuff if you just want something to work NOW and not worried about selling it later on.

oh and if you want a good front bar i have a carbing check my sig.

A swaybar is the bar that connects to the lower control arms. A strut bar is the bar that connects the top of the shock towers to each other, as seen in the pics above.
