Re: cheap strut bars.
I dont understand the question...
I got mine off ebay. $60 shipped to my door for all 3 bars (front, rear, and lower). They all work the same. Installation is a breeze... kinda fun too, especially the lower one. If you get the rear one, make sure you dont plan on carrying anything big in your trunk. It'll cut the truck perfectly in half. So yeah, ebay ones are good.

Re: cheap strut bars.
ebay should be fine. just make the adjustment bolts TIGHT and look for one with solid looking mounting brackets. if you're really worried you can adjust it to fit your car then get it welded so it doesnt flex as much

Sorry to post and old thread but i had a question and didnt wanna start a new thread.
Okay so i read from Kevin's post that the strut bars are only good if they are strong and do not flex. My question to you guys is do you think these are strong and wont flex? The first ones are for 54.95 and include the front and rear upper sturt bars: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V ANd the second is for $26 and includes the front and rear upper and rear lower bars: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V And finally this one is for 14.50 and includes the front and rear upper strut bars: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW Thanks a lot in advance guys!

Kevin is right, so is 1stGenRocks.
The bars pictured are weak sauce, lol. My biggest complaint is those mounting brackets, which allow way too much flex. A higher dollar model like the RRE version will do more for you, for a few reasons. As far as cheap models go, all those you pictured are decent. You'll notice a difference. Rather than talk you out of them, let me tell you how you can get the most out of them. Try putting them on when the car is off the ground, and try welding the adjusters once you dial in for the right fitment. Remember that maximum benefit won't be acheived until you have quite a few suspension mods. Your money would be better saved and spent on swaybars if you're looking to take hot corners. Er, corners hot. If you want more information about what strutbars do, see my sticky at the top that no one looks at

Re: cheap strut bars.
Personally i would go with Megan or DC Sports. The cheap struts looks ok... but i rather go with better quality over cheaper quantity. BUt the route i rather got for a little bit of extra cash is Sway Bars.
1. little bit more money for good quality struts like Megan & DC Sports or 2. Sway Bars if you have a little bit of exstra cash http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V
