Default Ebay tie and strut bar kit

Ebay has a kit for 50 bucks that includes front and rear uper strut bars and the front-rear lower tie bars.....This seems like a pretty good deal, but how much of a difference would I notice after installing these 4 pieces?.....

difference is nice. car feels a little stiffer. definately 50 bucks worth. i got the ebay kit but mine was both strut bars and only rear tie. total came to 60. car felt a lot better in the corners

i would say, it helps. The only problem i see with the ebay stuff... it has pivot points. I'd say get the ebay stuff for now, then save up and go Benen. You'll definatly notice the difference.

You wont notice much with a front, but the rear combo you are going to notice a lot of difference.
Id rock it for $50.

i like them because they have pivot points. 50 bucks is a deal. it's a great deal for all 4 and you do feel the difference. i'd get the bars because u don't really need some expensive name brands if all ur gonna do is run on the street. i had name brand struts and ties and sold them for generics that work just the same. i really didn't feel the difference after swapping. afterall i'm not a hardcore autoxer or anything, just an average street guy with a dd.

I got a set too, They are BOMZ RACING, I noticed a difference after I installed them, car feels tighter. Not big name stuff, and likely not as good, but they do work and you do feel a difference. But rear strut bar needed a little grrinding to fit.

I heard that part(every ebay strut i see its painted black) that connects to the shock tower(I think thats what its called) bends easily. Even under normal driving. I know I read it in here somewhere.
