Default Ebay Tie Bars

What do you guys think about these things? is it a scam, or do they add a little? i'm not asking if they'll make me the king of cornering, just wondering if they do what they say they will, to any extent. I have a DC Sports front upper on right now and it does make a little difference. Ebay stuff like this....

I myself don't really trust eBay and like most ppl say u get what u pay for. If u have the money I wouldn't cheap out but if u don't have the money and u wanna risk it than go for it. I think in this case it's all up to u.

do you think it'd be possible to fill them with something to make them more stiff?

theyre garbage, save your money. I've had ebay strut bars and they suck and BREAK. anyone who says they made a difference probably has it in their mind that since they installed them it'll actually help a lot...psychological. buy some good ones, youll be glad you did.
