Well, it depends on what youd be using the car for, if its strictly for the strip, then you really dont need one IMO. If its for rally then youll need one. They are lots of different companys, but there are some higher dollar ones, dont buy from ebay. Order from the company so you know what your getting. If youve got the money go with the Titanium , powdercoated bars if possible...there almost as strong as you can get them.

Re: Strut bar?

find the cheapest strut bar u could find... that should do the job for u.. it does not have to be a very good brand... even a nameless brand will do the same job as the greddy or other famous brand... and also few sellers in ebay do international shipping... so just search and see u might get lucky.. if not find the cheapest strut bar from roadraceengineering

Re: Strut bar?

the greddy strut tower is only for 1g's. any cheapo will work. most of the strength is from the firewall anyways, but they look cool!

Re: Strut bar?

So for normal driving and a little racing around town, what would be a good bar/price that did the job and looked decent?

These *f&r sets* are around $50 on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33591

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33591

And then ther's the RRE and Greddy *just front* for around $100.

And all the way up to some DC Sports Titanium Powdercoted huge thing for like $200.

So what's a good range $ for average driving? Will those from ebay just look pretty or will they do a decent job. I'm not trying to be a racecar driver or anything.

I'll be the first "uncool" guy. This has nothing to do with the thread at hand, and this is a direct copy and paste (minus the 3kGT) part from your post in the 3kGT forum. I consider this spam.

As for the strut bars, almost all are similar. The thicker the bar, and the less areas that can be adjusted, the better.
