Get one off eBizzay if you want to save money, if you want a fancy finish and a name brand buy one of those, they all do the same thing.

alright mental giant, the cattman FSTB is $195 plus maybe shipping and tax, ebay ones are around $20-40 shipped. if you have no better use for the $150+, then by all means pay for the name. i would say for $150 you can get youself an ebay CAI, cosmetic upgrades suchs light headlights or tailights, or spring coilovers, or lowering springs, or a cattman rear antisway bar

what is wrong with cheap, functional parts like the ebay CAI tube with a k&n filter? the rear sway bar itself is a good enough upgrade to justify the ebay strut bar.
