Default Ebay front Strut Bar

Does anyone have one of these? How well does it work? I'm not looking for no top notch strut bar, so $30 seems appealing.

What exactly are these bars designed to do? Is there any type of modification for the rear bar to fit? I think the front bar is pretty straight forward, right?

Btw, I'm not lowered, have an Si, and AEM short ram intake.

Thanks.

I bought a Ebay Strut Bar almost 2 years ago for like $35. After I installed it I did notice a big difference when I corner. The quality is ok, but remember you get what u pay for. I have a 3" Cold Air Intake, it does touch the strut bar so sometimes it will rattle. Ties do wonders though... lol I would say if your not doing show on ur lude, get it. I don't regret buying mine.

I have ebay strut bar and yes there is a noticable difference however I had to do some custom modifications to it to make it work. but i guess thats what you will get for when you pay 30 vs 130.

i got mine on ebay too. i also noticed a big diff. when i put mine on. the only thing that i could think of that would make a name brand one different is the welds. but i guess we'll find out the hard way

even if it does brake you could still buy 2 more and it would be cheaper than a name brand one.

does anyone have the rear lower bar? i thought about getting it. i heard that there isnt really a noticeable difference though...is there?

It'll fit on a S model, so i'd assume so (I have both front and rear ebay ****...). I noticed a good difference, and also a slight wear on my CAI, but who cares. I deffinetly am Interested in getting some lowers though...

You can only put a front strut on a 4ws, I looked into it for my car but you cant put a rear one on with the 4ws

I stand corrected, so what is the difference between the top of the struts on the S and 4WS?

Actually, I believe you still can put one on a 4WS. However, you have to do some modification to something in the trunk, I believe. Some other Prelude place was talking about this.. maybe I'll find it later.
