crap. Rear strut bars don't do much, but if it is only $10 then go for it if you want it.

Thumbs up

thanks for all the replies
the listing actually says there is a front strut bar included with the rear but only a picture of the rear is posted.
the ebay store is closing down and just getting rid of its stock and though id ask you guys if it was worth it or just a waste of money just want to thank you all for the replies o0o and the last ebay link from "LT2004ever" is also cheap but the shipping to 'Australia' is 105 us dollars when the product is only $2????
ohh well thanks again guys!

I have a strut bar that's almost exactly the same. I don't know about you guys, but I noticed a good difference in handling. maybe you guys have them too tight, or you didn't jack it up when installing. who knows. Bars are bars, as long as it's not just welded together in two places.
