Strut Bar And Sway Bay Does Who Its made by matter?

Hi I was looking into geting some strut bar's from 2kracing because they were only like 59 for my 2001 max. I was wondering if who makes them matters or they all do the say if you get the cheap ones or the stillen expensive ones.

Does anyone have the ones from 2kracing? Are they any good? Which ones would you recommend

As far as strut bars are concerned, i would recommend getting the cheapest one. The difference I have seen is appearance/color. I have STB's on all my cars, prices ranging from $20 to $120, and the overall improvement in handling was similar for each one of them. So, since this is a somewhat noticable mod (if you open your hood often or show at car shows), get the one that meets your taste for appearance (if you even care at all).

I got the Otto FSTB from eBay, it's the Stillen copy. I also got my RSB from eBay (don't know who makes it) it's a Stillen copy as well. Anyone notice a pattern???

I can't remember exactly how much I paid, but it cost in the neighborhood of $170 for both. 10,000 miles later and I still grin ear-to-ear whenever I see a freeway cloverleaf. Best money I've ever spent on my Max.

No, it doesnt matter who makes it. I got my fstb off ebay and it worked great. Save your money and buy the cheaper one, not stillen.
