Ebay Front Strut Bar... Any good?

I was thinking about buying a front strut bar from ebay but I was afraid of fitment issues. Have any of you had any success with the strut bars available on ebay? If you can, can you show me the link to the specific product so that I don't buy a crappy one that doesn't fit. Thanks in advance.

All the ones for maxima should fit, they all do the same thing, if you want a name brand get that, ebay bar should be fine. If you are not yet lowered you will feel a big difference, if you are already lowered you can't really tell. It's worth the $20 bucks IMO.

All of them are the same, pay more for a "name brand" if you want to waste money...

it's all true. just one more post to further reinforce the point.

got an ebay strut bar for $20-30, had it installed in a matter of minutes. my suspension was stock otherwise and i could tell a difference the first time i went out for a fun drive. totally worth it, and don't bother with any name brand crap.

I bought mine for $4.95 plus shipping. It's getting way too easy modding cars...

Speaking of which, it arrived today, and there was only a little bit of scratches at one end - not bad for a $5 piece imo.

I got one for $9.00 -- fit perfectly (with a litttle help of a flat washer under the inside cap nuts, though). Works great!!

Order with confidence.
