i dont know anything on suspension. i get different things from everyone, some say some are different, some say no difference. whats the truth here?

 

yes they are different. Ebay strut bars are cheap and weak. The neuspeed bar is very rigid and all 1 peice so that makes it even stronger. Save the money and buy the neuspeed bar... you can find them for $75 used and <$100 new.

 

typeS are real good too.

 

so is the strut bar on top and bottom in the front?

whats sway bar??

ive herd theres 3 bars, not sure what is what
thanks

 

Effectively the same thing. Unless you care about the way it looks, just get a cheapo ebay one. I promise you that you would not be able to tell the difference between a $25 ebay strut tower bar and a $100 Neuspeed or whatever bar...

Andrew, I've heard you can flex the ebay cheapos with your hand. With my neuspeed, I could stand on it and it will remain rigid.

That seems a LOT better to me.

i can't flex my el cheapo ebay one...err, two actually-front and rear.

 

Did they come with any brand name?

 

nope. i did replace the nuts/bolts on them though. the ones that came with the bar are crap.

 

where do you get neuspeed strut bars for 100 new?

 

I'd like to know too.

 

I was wondering the same thing myself

 

Go with the Ebay strut tower bars.

Unless you are going with a 3 (or more) point strut tower brace you won't feel a large difference with any brand strut tower brace.

The money you save from going Ebay is better spent on swaybars, shocks, springs, etc.

get neuspeed... works better then ebay ones...

 

Standing on a strut tower bar is a meaningless test. It does not see loading from the top or bottom. It would only see loading from the sides.

i have neuspeed upper front, upper rear, and lower rear.

thing is rigid as hell

i wouldn't trust the no name ebay items.
