Ebay stuff

Are things from Ebay like the FSTB and Clear corner lights worth buying? What are some good Brand names for this part? Are there big dicrepancies between a "good" FSTB or a "poor" one?

How about the Lowering Springs?

I know the Computer Chip "upgrades" for 20+ hp and stuff are total bull.

What about the Xenon HID lights that claim they're not the cheap-o lights others are touting?

Basicly, the bottom line I'm looking for here is; am I subject to "get what I pay for" on ebay and end up wasting money?

you can get some good deals and good quality merchandise from ebay..

FSTB's all do the same thing

clears are all the same...

springs just give you different drops and ride "qualities" along w/struts...

Xenon HID lights stay w/the stock wattage of 45/65 unless you want burned out harness's if you want to run high wattage bulbs buy a wire harness upgrade....

something things are generic and should always work, emblems, fstb, bulbs, others look for a brand name and buy, i.e. stillen, brembo

- FSTB works all the same as long they're stiff
- clear corners are the same, make sure get the diamond cuts one
- i'm not 2 sure about the xenon HID but as long they look brighter than stock then it's all good
- lowering springs are fine, jus pick out how low u wanna drop ur car... i perfer nothin more than 2"
- and don't ever get those computer chip cuz it'll blow up ur engine =X

Well I got my fstb yesterday and it seems to be okay but I also bought what they call "euro"(diamond cut) clear bumper lights but they sent me regular foggy lights and now I think I have to ship it back to get the d/c.
