Strut bar questions.......

I have gotten GREAT deals on ebay ..............

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ndexURL=0&rd=1

BUT, how do they differ from the EXPEN$IVE bars I see from name brand sellers ($65-175)?????

DO I need a lower rear bar?? How about swaybars, urethane bushings and endlinks?? I HAVE springs and KYB AGP's. I LOVE sucking BMW's into chasing me onto the entrance ramp to the freeway near home. Their eyes get SO big at the BUTTONHOOK at the end as we merge (for them UNINTENTIONALLY) with the traffic!!

They arent any different from name brands. All you paying for for anything DC Sports is the name and the name stamped on the item.

yeah, the deals are there, but be careful before you bid. i had a pretty bad experience with one seller and i didn't get my stuff for almost three months after the auction was over. as for the quality of the stuff, it looks and feels the same as the expensive stuff...

Ebay my life away......

I do ALOT of business on Ebay.........I have to say that I hardly EVER had a problem , with FEW exceptions (flip trunk instructions..........my bad). It is true that seller ratings are a good indicator.

i prefer the cheap stuff off ebay. i mean i couldn't see any difference, plus i got some brand names for 1/3 the price of the shelf. like ngk wires and yek distribuitor cap and rotor. gotta look for some deso's thou. as the strut bars go i give beemer a hard time going in turns.

ok, what about sway bars??

Strut bars seem about half as effective as sway bars, with urethane suspension bushings.........I am thinking of going to that next.
