how critical are strut bars? im thinking of getting the pro series full coilover kit from skunk2 and i was wondering if strut bars were that necessary

 

they prevent the chassis from flexing during cornering, get a front and rear and you will feel a difference.

 

Would ebay brands be fine...my friend told me has ebay brands and they're still pretty good...what you guys think?

 

wheres a good place to buy strut bars that haev no joints but still cheap

 

Can you leave the stock GSR strut bar and still get like a Mugen bar?

 

I've used generic ebay ones before and it works fine. The critical part is that you buy one that's not too flimsy or else it will flex during turnin which negates the point of the strut bar in the first place. I notice a significant difference in my old civic and not much of a difference in my 240sx with coilovers.

 

i would just search the internet, depending on what kind of car you have you should check http://www.acautotechnic.com they are going out of business i guess but they are selling off everything. just make sure to call them and place an order cause i ordered a rear bar for my teg online and they didnt have any left

 

I bought a front knock-off type R bar off ebay and I swear my car feels different (this is a solid type that bolts to where the type R and GSR bars attach). I'd suggest getting a solid one vs the kind w/pivot points. You can find both types on ebay.

i perfer neuspeed products, and i recommend staying away from the cheap ebay ones, they have a tendancy to break and are a waste of money. if you are concerned with price, try shopping used either at the honda market place or ebay.

It all depends on how well they are made.
Thats why the eGay ones are like 1 cent, cause they are cheap.
On the other hand you got the Mugen ones which cost like $200...
It all depends on quality...gotta pay the cost to be the boss...
