Q concerning rear upper strut bar (tornactive)

I am wondering if anyone has this bar Strut bar
and curious how well it fits, and if it is adjustable and if people are noticing an effectiveness out of it. For only 50 bucks it seems like a good deal. Let me know your opinions, i know that Rob wouldn't sell a shody product but im curious because there is no brand on it.

It isn't probably adjustable but screws into place. So it would fit fine. Rob doesn't sell crap.

It is a no-namer bar, but does do the job.
Has adjustable endlinks, and also hase the metal tabs already bent to fit the housing nice an d snug, had this problem with other bars for the rear upper.
Bar looks about 17-19mm

I think it would do justice for the suspension.

What diameter is that though? It's not rod-shaped. It's kinda flat. Is 22mm the larger diameter? If so, then what's the smaller one? I think this is the same strut bar that has been on Ebay since the 01 Civics came out.

Well $50 bucks sounds good for a 22mm bar.

It may be the same bar, not sure.
But at least you can have peace of mind knowing you are going to get the product and customer support after the purchase.

On a side note..I would hope you guys pass by me anytime you plan to purchase something, at least give me a shot at the prices you are being offered.

Thanks!
