i believe you can only use 4 of them because one of the tie bars is for the front but dosent fit on an ED chasis. But i say get them. Not a bad investment for only 70 dollars.

I doubt they'd fit properly. If they did then go for it!

it depends on how far your willing to take your project. If you are just in it to have fun and no really care about the quality of additions to your car then so be it. I am sure that you get what you pay for with cars. Quality products cost more to make and are built much better. I guess it is up to you just think about what you want to do with your car you might later decide that you waisted 70 on crap and want somthing better, honestly save your money and invest in some full coilover setup and new tires and you will be money.

good luck

I bought some like that off ebay and they fit my car perfect, the quality seems just as good as others just without the big names. One thing you need to look at though is the cost of shipping. They usually try to get you there,

yeah the shiping will be a bitch on ebay, but back to the structural integrity of strut bars the bad thing about ebay bars are that they arnt made with quality materials and made structualy sound here are some links to some great strut bars, notice the design and structual integrity of these, very nice set ups. This is just somthing to consider. I think the ebay bars are fine for someone who just wants a quick fix but these will out do ebay any day here are the links:

yeah those are hot, but i would be paying 4 times as much for 1/5 of the setup... im not a track guy, the crx can almost out handle anything on the street stoch. i was just wondering if there is a rediculous amount of flex, fit of warp in them.

I had skunk 2 front and rear strut bars and i ended up selling them. An auto-x was coming up so i bought some off ebay and i have to say i was impressed with them they seamed ridged. Oveously(spell) they are not as good but for someone that just wants to stiffen up the chassis they will be fine.

should compare the integrity to ones off ebay and ones that are known name brands, and see how much of a differences they would actually be. considering better bars would be for hard driving like turning and whatnot, but in reality if that isnt what you are going for. wouldnt be worth investing in ones that cost more

i wasnt hating on the ebay bars just pointing out the difference in set ups. It isnt the name or the cost that matters it is the job that it does. But if you are looking to just have fun with your rex and nothing serious then go with ebay it is a cheap easy fix for what your looking for.
