ebay

usually for about $30 you get a good enough strut bar.

Exactly, the only thing you are paying for with the more expensive bars is looks. So if you want to spend $200 on a Stillen bar go ahead but it will function the same as a $30 bar off of e-Bay.

i also agree with everyone on that matter.. i myself bought a no name fstb from eBay.. and they're worth every 30 bucks i spent.. if you go with stillen.. you're just buying a name.. they'll probably perform same.. only one this is.. stillen one look a bit better
So.. its entirely up to you..
Either buy a Stillen FSTB OR buy a no name FSTB and save up some money..

Courtesy Nissan has a nice looking one for about $70. The $30 ones on e-bay don't look as nice as the Courtesy. Of course, that's just my opinion.

The Courtesy bar seems to look just like the bar I got off eBay for $28. The end links on mine were dark blue before I painted them black, and If you notice Courtesy say's there end links are now only available in dark blue now. I do think my bar is more oval though.

Not flaiming, just thought I'd point that out.

I've got a Courtesy in my 94 and a Vibrant (from http://www.streetbeatcustoms or something for $30) in my 98. The Courtesy looks rather like a chrome churro, with it's ridges. It had red ends at the time. The Vibrant is more of an oval wing shape. It has black ends. They both look good, but I personally prefer the Vibrant. I like them both over the Stillen.

Check out the bar maxima.org member STEALTHMAX was/is? selling. Great bar, great service. . .I bought one from him & couldn't be happier.

Do a search - there was a thread a while ago in the for sale forum where he was selling them. It may still be there.

It's the same bar offered by ProCarParts.com if u need a picture.

Good luck!

The bar in your pic looks just like the Courtesy that I have on mine. Kind of a flat oval shape.

I think the pic on the Courtesy web site is either outdated or they just threw a generic picture up there?? It looks round as opposed to the flat oval.

Not really, but when you can get one for around $15 plus $12 shipping on eBay, why mess with that.

But there really is no way the bar could wear out, except rust.
