I think the 2 pieces are for tower bars only (top strut front and rear) and the 4 pieces have tower and tie bar (lower bar between control arm bushing)

The ebay bars doesn't do anything, it has no change when it's installed. I'll suggest you to use bars like Cusco, Skunk2, Mugen...etc, they cost more but they are worth it.

The more stiffer the bar, the handeling it can give to your car, and the ebay bars are not stiff at all.

I'd rather rock an OEM one and put that money into my suspension if I wanted to make my car handle better.

I would suggest the Skunk's because they actually look rigid and not flimsy and thin like the eBay one's and there also fairly cheap...

Shock tower bars don't do jack on a street car. I have front and rear bars only because the front one is stock, and the rear one was given to me for free and I secure my subwoofer box to it.

Thicker sway bar.

Shock tower braces aren't part of the suspension. They're more like part of the chassis.

save your money and get some fat sway bars and lower tie rod. front strut bar is for show and rear actually has some purpose.

i say try to get a gsr strut bar if you can find one.

i'm sure the gsr and ITR strut bars are made of the same stuff, just ITR one is a little bit bigger, there is a thread already started on here about comparing them.

IMO, if you really want a front strut bar really bad, get one that also connects to the firewall like the mugen front strut bar!

a strut bar is a strut bar to me, unless it's a ebay one that sucks ha.

GSR shock tower bar = steel. ITR shock tower bar = aluminum bar with steel ends. The Mugen front shock tower bar does not connect to the firewall.

I had someone sell me some cheapo ebay ones. Rear strut and c pillar for like 20 bucks. so i was like fudge it. send em my way :D i wouldnt have bought them for any more though, not worth it to me. I don't think they do anything to begin with. Think it's just a seller's market.
