Default rear Lower strut bar feedback

Just wanted some input on this particular item, worth it or no? or look for something not ebay, but i can't see anything that could be bad with it personally.

well they are called lower tie bars actually and they are more for appearance purposes more than functionalilty..and being an ebay one would make me trust it's function less than a good one...you can buy a purple beaks lower tie bar for around 130 bucks and have the feeling of quality

but if you really want to stiffen up the rear suspension, an ASR subframe brace and rear sway bar is what you are looking for

IMO lower tie bars are worthless but they look good lol

The only ones worth it are the ASR and the Beaks, and they're definitely not $18 like that one.

The ASR is so great because it functions as a lower tie bar, but also strengthens the subframe mounting holes enough that you can run a really big swaybar on the rear without fear of damaging your subframe.

Personally, I think you should save up for the ASR. It's $179, but it's teh shiz.
