That is wierd, because when I installed my Neuspeed, the difference was like night and day.

Eh, not really. My Neuspeed is a one piece bar. One piece = no weak points= less flex. A 20 dollar shipped eBay 3 piece bar will not perform as good as a one piece or a custom fabbed bar.

Want to see what happens when a guy in the 01-05 forums bought an eBay special?
