ebay strut bars

just wondering if the front strut bars they have are any good, there so cheap, compared to other brand names. sorry if this question was asked, still a noobie^^


and wuts the difference out of these three...nothing except the mounting brackets?

those all look just like the one i picked up from ebay a few months back. very pleased with it....can't see why you would send $150 for some name-brand one.

install was a breeze...just take off the nuts, place it in place, and put the nuts back on. although i did have to slight bend up one small piece of metal (that was the mounting bracket for my air box) to get it to fit in place on the drivers side) - no biggie though.

imo...well worth the $30 or so!

I have one. Seems to work pretty good. It looks like the welds in the bracket seem a little weak. I don't see how it could do any damage if it were to break though.

I have the third one listed in the initial post, but have not owned any others to compare it against, but it works fine for me.
