Was it this one?



I don't suppose it was this one:

And this guy is selling the same thing as the first one:



So it's that one, right?

Who is better, Procarparts or Directcarparts

Here's one more, but it's like almost 4 times as much:



Alright thanks for the help.

Why is it that eBay f/u strut bars are supposed to suck but the rear ones everyone says good things about?

they are all the same. There is significant difference between the brands)just the looks - the reason why some buy it in the first place. DC Sports rear/front strut is just as flexible as the ebay ones. if you need performance, make your car a partial tube frame.

Really? Maybe I don't need to spend $100 on a Neuspeed F/u bar. I heard that one was vastly superior not only because it allows intakes to be installed, but because of it's one piece design.

Hmmmmmm...

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
in terms of its price, it does its job.

in no way will it out peforme a one piece design without pivot points, but in any event, it does stiffen up the rear a bit..

although we dont really need it, if u take a look at where the shock towers are located...

still, I felt a difference... I was rather surprised.... car felt more neutral. *shrug*
