This design is pretty generic and you will notice minor improvements. The beefier FSTB's will,of course, be better.
The big bonus is that it will make your engine bay much more attractive, esp. if you do a powder coat.
For under $30 these should be hard to pass up for anyone.

Exactly this. Every time you see something incorrectly spanning model years, it should make you very wary. Even though it's just a FSTB, and a cheap one at that.
That conversation exists in hundreds of threads.
- Stillen's is an over-priced rip-off. Nice, but not worth the cost.
- Racingline's is awesomely perfect in both design and cost, but usually out-of-stock.
- eBay struts like this, flimsy and cheap, are often the only thing available... unless someone on the Org has a FS thread for an old Cattman Ti-bar or an Otto FSTB.

That conversation exists in hundreds of threads.I always see these cheap Megan/Ebay FSTBs and want to buy one just because most FSTBs look nice in the engine bay. I do, however, repeatedly come to the conclusion that my money is better spent in other realms of car modding.

But consider the psychology involved. See, any monkey can install a FSTB. The easy, DIY aspect of this mod gives it more weight when making a decision on how to spend modding funds.
As for bling... the Racingline FSTB is gorgeous and just about the most sturdy thing out there; second only to the old Cattman Ti-bar. Whereas these eBay bars look, well, they look like something that cost $29. It won't look anything like this:
Um... titanium strut-nuts and powdercoated brackets not included.

...um, wait a minute. I just followed the link again, and they've corrected their page. Go figure.
Do you think it was us, or a coincidence?
