I got my bar from an eBay auction. I believe the seller is "procarpart" or "procarparts", i got it for $39.99 before shipping last year. Try a eBay search for it.. good luck.

I got my front strut bar from them as well. However, the package arrived extremely tattered and OPEN! After inspecting the bar it had many defects. Scratches all up and down the length of the bar. There also appeared to be some dirt buildup around the edges of the bar where it fits onto the top of the strut housing. Additionally, the assembly was missing the nuts for the backside of the screws. A strut bar isn't that many pieces. Kinda hard to forget that. VERY DISSAPPOINTED!
After calling them, and their phone edict needs work, I have the pleasure of sending the bar back to them so they can ship me a new one, which is what I ordered in the first place. I see now why they can offer free shipping. The Stillen Intake hasn't even shipped yet and I ordered over a week ago, yet I was sent an email saying my entire order had shipped. A real second-rate operation to me.

I had the same experiance, box tatterd, the bar not only had scratches but dings on the edges of it. When I called procarparts they were complete JackA$$es about it. They wanted me to take pictures to email them and then if they determined it was faulty enough to return I would have to pay shipping back to them. Luckly I have a friend in a machine shop who fixed the blemishes the best he could. I would not buy form these A$$holes again.

And one more great thing from them. Called today to see why intake had not shipped, it has been 1.5 weeks, and they don't even carry it in stock like they advertise. The intake still had not shipped! So I decided to cancel and order from Stillen directly. Same price but I had to eat $12 in shipping and 1.5 weeks waiting around for these fools. I don't mind the shipping, because I had seen how their free shipping works. Could be the fact they use DHL.
