thanks!

 

well since they are both the same thing, go with the $25 one. not to mention that seller has a better feedback rating

 

they both do the same function. go with the cheaper one.

 

anything i need to know about installing it? or is it just 6 bolts and im thinking too hard?

 

thinking too hard.

 

you are thinking WAAY too hard lol. its best if you can, to torque the bolts to specs. i forget what it is tho.

 

i like the second one

 

important to torque them to specs? coz i lack a torque wrench

 

i bought the 45 dollar one from racing dimension, great seller, shipped quick and it looks really nice. it does performthe same function, but its much nicer. i havent installed it, so i dont know what fitment islike yet, but there's rarely an issue with that

 

Anyone have an opinions on the even cheaper fstb found on ebay, like the ones for less than $25.

 

oops... I see one of those was the cheaper bars I was talking about just with shipping incl.

 

i remember that you have to torque the bolts to like 50lbs or something like that. just hand tighten it with your tools. youll be fine.

 

i thought it was something like 30 lbs of so. and just strong handtightening would do the trick? not sure, though. just get a tourqe wrench if you do any work on your car. it will pay for itself over and over again. and it gives you peace of mind

 

one other thing, does anyone know where the otto strut bar is? is it ever sold on ebay, or what? I only received poor results when looking on google.

 

Searched for: maxima strut (bar,brace) otto

that brace is .. $2.50?

edit

haha, wtf. shipping is $25!

 

Its strategic - they make all the money off the shipping (25 bucks I think it was) - Ebay only charges a cut on the sale price - not on the shipping price.

 

haha! fsckers.

theres no functional difference between these three bars is there? why would i buy the more expensive one? because of the brand?

 

Front strut upper mounting nuts: 29-40 ft-lbs (39-54 Nm)

 

If I had to get a new one, I'd probably go with the RD model only cause it looks good.

I've had the cheap one in my car for years without a problem though and it's not like anyone looks at my engine except me and the oil change guy at the shop, so no need to upgrade.

 

What? You're on the org and don't change your own oil!
just kidding man!

 

not familiar with the RD model. is that racing develpoment?

 

The RD is the second one the threadmaker listed.
