Default OBX rear swaybar&subframe reinforcement, anyone try these

Anyone try these yet?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem


They look identical to the Mfactory (suprise, suprise, OBX copying somebody )

I've been considering something like this since the ASR and 21+mm bar seem to be more than what I need/want for a daily driver.

i'd maybe buy that rear sway bar, but im not sure abou the sub frame. Looks sort of chessy. Just save your money bro, obx stuff really isn't quality stuff.

mowlly dude, thats friggin cheap! id buy that thing in a minute, i paid the same $120 for just the obx rear sway bar. great bar, just like stock if you paint it black. you cant go wrong, the reinforcement is almost free. some of them are over $130 just for one or the other. get it. i would if i didnt already have it. super good deal...

I'd love to try lol

I've also been thinking about the ST rear sway bar for 19mm (I can get hooked up on it for 40 shipped) and just a seperate lower bar from like carbing or something

normally i'd vote against ebay stuff,

but it sounds like saveacivic can vouch for it... if it fits/works well and saves you a few bucks, go for it!

A lot of my parts come from ebay. They're name brand parts though.

The Obx is a good kid, for $100 you can't go wrong. It won't be an ASR brace but it will definately be an inprovement. I'd hit it.

OBX is a bunch of the guys that split off from Skunk2 and still had all the copyrights.

OBX makes good stuff man.

the sway bar looks ok, but then again, you never know what its made of. and the reinforcement looks like a rip-off of the SRR kit.
i dunno, 130 is pretty cheap, but nonetheless, im not a big fan of stuff they sell at pep-boys/strauss/auto-zone...etc, auto stores.
