Default Strut Tower Braces and lower Tie rods?

What is the best Strut tower braces ? Am I better off buying the cheapys on ebay or getting the brand name ones?

Lower tie rods are what turn the wheels.

I would have to say either or. Sometimes a $40 strut bar, be it upper or lower, will do the same job, if not better than a $140 strut bar. IMO a strut bar is a strut bar. Some people like to purchase the $140 bar soley for the name and looks. If you're worried about looks rather than functionality, then go with the expensive stuff, if not stick with the "cheapys", you'll save yourself some cash for other mods in the long run.

I'm a fan of the generic ones, but I stay away from ebay ones. I got mine from groupbuycenter for $40 shipped. The only one that may be worth it is the Neuspeed bar, but only if you autocross.
