definitley stay away from e-bay strut bars..... terrible advise. in my oppinion the password JDM 3 point front and 4 point rear are well worth the money and not too expensive.

lol. what are you going to do about your trunk if you get the password rear bar? What if you daily drive the car and need to put **** back there?

Any bar that connects in that fashion will work the same. Whether it costs $8 million or if it costs $20. It's a bar.

heim joints? Dont they swivel ....why would you want a swiveling strut bar? If you were to make one, you'd make it out of something solid like bar stock...but if someone asks "what bar should i use" they're obviously not in it to build a bar. lol no offense, but that's like telling a soccer mom to do her own oil change isnt it?

Nothing wrong with off brand strut bars. I have some off brand bars and they work great. Save the money for something you would need to buy that is name brand like shocks or springs. Thats like saying since your 10 spd has spokes made by Ferrari than you can pedal faster than me with my stock BMX spokes

Pretty much the only thing password bars are good for are looks and points at events they sponsor. I held one in my hands and it flexed a lot by pushing the two ends toward eachother

if you have the time make your own(if you know how to weld), or buy a thicker bar such as carbing. assword copied them, but they use signifigantly inferior materials to make them....not even some egay strut bars I've seen have flexed like the password ones.

unless they are quality made(not just overpriced...like all password ****) and thick, strut bars do not do too much to improve handling. a swaybar upgrade and good grippy tires would be much better than strutbars.

If you want to add bars to improve handling, just save your money and invest into a CTR Rear Sway bar + ASR Subframe Reinforcement Brace. That combo alone will give you the most noticeable gains over any and all other bars combined.
