Front strut bar

I'm looking to buy a good front strut bar. Do they really help handling?

What's a good brand and how much should I be looking to spend?

If you have the stock suspension, they're supposed to help the front end a LITTLE. If you've got a decent suspension though, they aren't for anything but show.

The ones on Ebay work just as good as some of these name brand ones. They all serve the same purpose.

I got the OTTO too, and i can definitely feel the difference on the stock SE suspension.

the fit and finish on the Otto bar is quite good. i might be imagining it, but it seems to tighten up the front end on those highway ramps we all take a bit faster than we should.

I know whatever I felt after I installed my FTSB was all in my head, but for 20 bucks, I like knowing that my car MIGHT be a LITTLE faster. Besides, it's shiny and purty. Get it.

FTSB really don't do anything, unless you have an upgraded suspension. As for the Otto Racing FTSBs, I have one and feel no difference. I probably put it on wrong or something.
