There are people selling strut tower braces on Ebay for like $8.99 plus shipping. Anybody got one of those? Are they any good? I mean, usually, the $9 price tag would tell me it sucked, but it's a metal bar, so how expensive does it really have to be, right? It's just an aluminum bar with black end-links. Anyway, I was hoping somebody had some information on these, b/c if I can get away with a $9 strut bar, then... hell yeah!

I would be careful about some of the really cheap ones I have heard of them snapping under pressure. I got a "jdm" rear for my integra and it worked great but it was made well too about $20

Post a link if you can. The one I have was an off brand with a polished aluminum bar and black ends, but I paid about $40 shipped for it. If it's the same one it's pretty good. The ends are really beefy and the bar is thick too. If you don' have any type of rear strut/sway bar or something else to reduce understeer, it's gonna hurt more than it helps though...

Yeah, ldelaysionl, that's the one. I'm planning on getting a rear sway bar in the near future, too, though, so worry not about my soon-to-be severe understeer. I didn't post a link because there's about five of each of them up for sale every day on Ebay, and they're all the same. The link would be worthless in a day or two. Thanks for the info, though. Very helpful.
