Strut Tower Brace

Hello, I am looking for an STB for my 02 Max (A body shop stole the one I had on, and flat out denied it).

Any recommended brands - I have seen a few on Ebay, but at about $30, I am not sure of their quality. And then there is the Megan Racing one available here for about $100 (http://www.meganracing.com/products/...=1970&catid=35).

Is it better to go for the Megan Racing version or any others?

Would appreciate some thoughts.

thanks - MN

i have the 30 buck one. bar is aluminum there are some threads maybe 2 inches idk if that's enough or if the aluminum is strong enough but it's not loose yet. then again idk if one could tell if it's loose.

if you look at the Megan racing it looks aluminum too AND non adjustable. also idk if those aluminum ends are stronger than than threaded deal on the 30 buck one.

idk if there is even that much force exerted on it.

The 41 dollar one used to be the ebay special at 30 bucks.

I vote pass at that price.
