Default Ebay strut bars - fitment?

Anyone here have an EBay strut bar? If so, how is the fitment? Not too worried about rigidness, cause there are things I can do to help that, but I am more concerned about fitment. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

you can tell...not a HUGE difference, but if you really feel how your car handles and moves when you corner, you will notice one

sorry to hijack, but, what kind of strut bar will fit over my damn stock dx engine, I'm gonna to the swap in three months, but for the mean-time I need something that'll go over it's "intake manifold".

Try the Neuspeed strut tower bar. It crosses over the engine more than over the IM.

Back on topic----I've seen an eBay front strut tower bar on a del Sol, and it fit pretty well. Quality looked to be the same as others.

i dont agree that all strut bars are equal... for the most part you get what you pay for.

that may be true in most cases, but the extra amount you pay is sometimes not worth it to the people shelling out the money.

however, i replaced my ebay strut bar with a neuspeed one, so that tells you about myself

so, are you guys saying that an ebay strut bar is good enough?... plans are a b18c5 in my hatch, but i want to make sure it will not block any room after i install the supercharger in it. Please recommend me something worth the time, and money. I am on a budget, cuz of engine cost. Thank you.
