EBAY STBs FTW!!

Well I just had to post my experience/review.

Yesterday I finally had the time to install my Acekogyo(sp?) stbs f+r. Got them
in like 2/3 days. Shipping was fast. Anyways i installed them right after I got
done eating breakfast. Well before these were installed I use to complain how
much body roll the vic had and how unstable it was on tight turns. BUT after
these were installed all i gotta say is WOW. I def. noticed a difference in taking turns at slow and higher speeds. Feels much more stable. Less body roll than before.

At first i was really hesitant in ordering ebay stbs but i was like "wth i should
give it a try". Under $40 for both i bought them. If i didn't like them i would've have sold them on craigslist. But im so happy i noticed a difference so i decided to keep'em on the vic.

Only problem is it rubs a little bit on my stock air box. So later on today im
going to buy some washers to see if it will cure the problem.

Here's the link:eBay Motors: 01-05 Honda Civic Front/Rear Strut Bar 02 03 04 EX DX (item 200080128847 end time Feb-20-07 17:21:56 PST)

PS: I know it's not as good as the Neuspeed front stb but wth im happy. Maybe someday i'll purchase the Neuspeed to see if i can feel more of a difference.

Mmm.... decrease roll has nothing to do w/ strut bars. ANd the rear, the Civic doesnt have strut towers really..... and the chance of having much flex there is very low. But you bought them at a good price so.....

Glad you like them. I'm running the Megan Racing set (FU,RU,RL) personally - also an Ebay special. I think they were all of $100 shipped for the set and they came in blue so I was happy. I love them. I'm 98% sure the RL has absolutely no effect other than cosmetic, but I definitely noticed a difference in my high speed cornering. And this is on top of my Tein SS coilover setup. Ebay is the dog's bollucks!!! Good find!
