I own a 92 EH3 Hatchback.. I almost bought some strut tower bars this morning off ebay.. what I wanted to know was is there any difference between name / brand / price?


Thanks In Advance

if you were auto-xing then pay for some descent ones, if its just a DD dont worry about name/price. you wont notice MUCH differance w/ or w/out them.

actually its hard to say what is good and what isnt on ebay thier are a lot of cheaply made things that look decent until you get them


NOT ALL ITEMS are crappy but its just hard to tell if your getting a decent product

if i was you i would just get a name brand

whats the difference between a 30 dollar pair.. and a 70 dollar single one?

Thanks

most likely just the materials its made from. alot of the ebay stuff like the strut tower bars arent that bad, just not name brand, and mass produced to make them cheaper.

this is just my dd with a vx motor.. wont beat on it until i get the GSR swap.. i figure if i acn pick up a 4 pc set for 70 bucks thats a good deal?


worht it or not?

Thanks

well, depends, they are mostly cosmetic (for looks) if you ask me, so if its worth it to you then go for it.

i thought they helped alot since a Honda is unibody?


Thanks

they do help, but you wont notice the differance unless you drive like an auto-xer all the time.

You should get a oem strut tower bar...they do not mount in the same position as every other bar and really help..unlike the others..if you go for a awesome one..youll need a 3 point I imagine...

I put a oem strut tower bar on my 93 dx hatch w/ b16 and it significantly made the ride smoother

i have ebay front/rear upper strut bars and front/rear lower tie bars and i autox and they work great. im still on stock suspension and when i put these on i noticed a big difference in handling. i got all 4 of em for like $65 shipped i believe. they look great, fit perfectly, and work just fine. great buy IMO. beats pay over $100 on just 1 strut bar that u prolly wont even feel the difference from an ebay one....only point i see in buying a name brand strut bar is for show...

ok tahts probably what i will do.. i mean im a 17 yo kid.. with a honda hb.. im bond to beat on it, speed, and take corners fast.. i geuss itll be a good investment

Thanks

I AutoX, the only difference I notice is that I have to run in STS and not HS, so I routinely get my *** kicked because I have no other suspension mods.

edit- I also suck at driving
