Has anybody tried the stillen knockoff sway bar?

Pro: They are cheap compared to Stillen's. Having one is better than not having one.

Cons: We don't know the stiffness of the bar. Sway bar is just like a spring that limits the sway or side to side movement of the car.

From the picture it doesn't look the exact same. Mine (Stillen) has a bit more vertical bend to it, and is thicker than that one appears. It does look like the brackets are dead on though. It doesn't show the spacers, but I would hope it'd come with those.

Second that...... I have the stillen bar and based on these photos, the stillen bar looks slightly larger in diameter. Brackets look dead-on and appear to include hardened fasteners with nylon locking nuts. e-brake cable spacers would be nice to include, it's a pain trying to locate odd items like those on your own. The dip is hard to judge but looks about right to me. Not crazy about the blue... I'd paint it gray to match the axle.

I have one of those and i am happy to report that it works great. It made a huge difference for my '03 Maxima. Had to do some minor modification on the e-brake cable attachment. (bend it) Took me < 1 hour to install.
Make sure you install it so it does't touch the axle.

Works fine. Never had a stillen, so i can't compare.
