You do know that paypal by itself offers the same protection as ebay. The only difference is that Ebay gives you 60 days to file a complaint and paypal only gives you 45 days. Not to mention when you go through ebay if you use paypal the same company hits you twice (aka service charge you) for one transaction which I always find extremely tasteless.

So you're selling 1 or more?
Are the bars 'hollow' inside?...or solid metal?

I just received my FSTB today, looks pretty nice for $40. I'll be installing it tomorrow.
No instructions but I should be able to figure it out.

I think they would weigh alot more if it were solid, they arn't very heavy but seems sturdy. Noticed a difference in front end handling tho.

Really? These are the Megan Racing ones? Selling for less than HALF the price of what's on ebay? Sorry but doubtful.

MaxinO2, please post pics of yours (if you don't mind, since you bought from the OP), nice and close to verify. Thanks

Yeah, I saw them on eBay for about $80. Kind of skeptical but I'll see. Hopefully he posts up pics.

I say we give this guy a chance. He hasn't given anybody any reason to doubt him. Seems like a good deal for a good product for our cars. Isn't that what we all want? Mods have an eye on it.

Its $40... its not going to be a Stillen brace. But for $40, it seems good.

+1 for good products at good prices.

To anyone wondering about this Sway Bar.

I bought one and installed, I defiantly noticed a difference in tightening up the front end. It feels more solid now and it helped with my torque steer that I've been dealing with for years. Its worth $40 no doubt to me.
You may want to get a rear sway bar too if you don't have one just to make it tight all around.

First FSTB on your Max? How does it ride?
Also, how heavy are there? Fitment issues?

Yes it was the first one installed on it and I enjoy it. I don't have to fight the road as much if ya know what I mean. It isn't too heavy, maybe around 8 or 9 lbs guessing. Fitment was good and had the angle cut at each end to fit properly.

The 95-99 Bars look like this:



But, everywhere I see the megan strut bar listed for the 00-03, they look like the pictures that have been posted, and are cheap. ImportRP has them and they are pretty well respected on this forum. I think they are $22.99 + ship= $34 or so.

There have been past group deals as low as $28 for them.

Seems like a good product at a good price.

they use a generic image usually, they wont print a new image for every single car..the one on the box might be for honda's lets say but 300 honda orders vs 50 maxima orders...just use the same box
