Default Is a CTR EK strut bar worth $30?

Hope this belongs to the right forum.

Found a Civic Type R strut bar local for 30 dollars pick up and was wondering is it worth the money? I dont care about the fact that it's from a CTR but seeing as how a generic strut bar on ebay costs around 25-27 after shipping, am I better off just buying this since oem > generic.

CTR strut bar is the same as a GSR sturt bar, (CTR is just painted red) I got my GSR bar for free, and I hearn the norm price is around $10. just buy a GSR one. unless you have to have JDM red paint on it.

ctr bar is a smaller inner diameter so the bar is a little thicker thats negating the paint too
