Understeer will happen no matter your strut bar preference. I think the main advantage of a SB is in bumps and dips in the road. It probably keeps you going in a str8 line. And being that my 4th gen has no camber or caster allignment? Anything helps...

 

I had the same exact ebay Strut bar for my 97 and it cooked the evap hose right off.

 

Its looks like you could just put it on the other way and it would be further away from your , as nissan calls it your "purge cutout valve"(the plastic cannister) and far enough away from the "vapor cannister purge volume control valve"(the metal valve). no? omni-directional?

 

no

 

i think it looks good. i might just get one too.

 

I have an EBAY front strut bar as well...might consider selling it to get the Megan Racing one.

 

You can't because the brake master cylinder is in the way.

 

It does look pretty beefy:


I just wonder where/how the center section attaches to the firewall. Do we already have holes in that location?

Their front member brace:

This looks similar to a LTB, but I'm not sure where the rear points attach to. Can anyone hazard a guess?

The same goes for their rear torsion bar, where does it attach?

i have one of these too, it some what helped a bit. i do agree on your state about the stillen sturt bar. in my personal opinion it think the ebay and stillen strut bars do the exact same thing in stablizing the front, reason being is because the 2 strut bars are 3 piece and some flex still happens. so $30 vs $100 make sense, i just wish someone made one piece strut bars for our cars :/

 

so then these are not available...

 

Strut bar is a strut bar. I challenge anyone to honestly say they can actually "feel" the difference between the two (stillen/eBay).

 

I've had my Ebay one on for couple weeks now. Still rock solid and noticeable. Especially when I drive my I30 which doesn't have one.

 

the difference is in the quality of the construction. stillen ones are just made to last and look better. my 70.00 one i got 4 years ago looks good still but has a little rust.

 

ultra racing has a ebay account , there stuff looks pretty legit soooooooooooo whose gunaa be the guinnee pig?

big ups man looks good, i just got my OTTO Racing one in the mail today. Even got it from ebay but it was only 30$, and 10 shipping well worth it...

"Form>Function" FTW

 

bumping 1 and half y/o thread...

 

Word of Warning MoneebT!!! The OTTO racing bar sits VERY close to your EVAP purge volume control valve. (Its the UFO saucer looking one with three rubber tubes protruding from it and bolted to the Throttle Body)

That bar gets REALLY hot and has a tendency to melt the rubber vacuum hose on that valve. Bend your bracket down a little bit and make sure the hose has just a tiny bit of clearance. You will thank me later for the LACK of crazy *** Check Engine Light codes.

That being said I love my OTTO bar too. it looks good! and I felt the difference right away in tight cornering for sure.
