What do you guys think of the cheap strut bars on ebay? I mean what makes a strut bar good. They all look the same.

Does that mean they are all good or what? I assume some are better than other, but does the cost justify it, thats the question.

 

You almost always get what you pay for when dealing with aftermarket parts. I would not recommend getting the ebay ones if you want real perormance. Look at the diameter and specs of the bar and think about it rationally.

 

I would guess thickness and material would affect the stiffness and rigidness of the bar. Stronger material is usually more expensive (obviously), and so therefore will act as a stronger brace than the next bar, upping the price. I don't have a clue about Ebay strut bars, or where they come from......Just get a DC or Neuspeed like everyone else, lol.

 

I don't see why a DC would be a good buy....wouldnt the holes on the middle of the bar affect the structural integrityof the bar? I think they did it for looks, but it doesnt make sense to me

 

get neuspeed
holes suck

 

Generally what you pay for is what you get when it comes to structural stiffeners. Personally I think the best one for the money is the Neuspeed. But I haven't seen many of the other brands ones. DC isn't worth the money unless you like shiny pretty things.

 

"Spoon" is the good one, maybe a little expensive but i think it worth

 

I have seen someone stand on a Spoon bar that was bolted into a concrete floor and it didn't bend.

The same person tried that with a DC bar and it bent. I think it was on NTPOG somewhere.

Go with Spoon, check out some of the Groupbuy's on them. The prices are excellent

 

I agree I have one of those nasty lil dcsports ones on my ride....Sure it looks good but the whole Idea of the stifness of the swaybar sucks with those stupid lil holes in it.....

 

Spoon bars are very nice
here is a picture of one


Another good alternative is to have a machine shop custom make one for you. Usually the price is not too bad if you design it yourself. However, if they do the R&D for you and also make it, price will be up. Custom stuff is always cool
