I have used those EBAY bars on all of my cars.....however....most of my cars were hatchbacks. (probe, eclipse, CRX) They have always worked wonders. Thats not to say a solid bar wouldn't be better but any improvement from a $15 purchase is money well spent.

The only things I am critical of is whether or not an otherwise stock EVO would see any noticable gains from any RSTB.

The ebay Tower bar sucks. A guy I kno bought one. It is so flimsy they won't even do what it is suppse to do. It bends so easy. But if you want towelbars, go for it!

Hey, guys, I got an official warning for making that joke. If that isn't lame, I don't know what is. It was really funny and not even derogatory or tasteless. Oh well, here goes EvoM down the toilet bowl...

I sent it. The warning was for taking the thread off topic. yesevo made a typo which you made a joke out of. He (yesevo) didn't enjoy your joke and that was the reason for the warning. As far as Evom going down the toilet because you got a warning ........ right. Thanks.

Speedlimit...

I thought about buying an Ebay rear strut bar, but after seeing how it looks, I decided not to get one, b/c the way brackets were designed. It's not a flat piece from bracket to bracket and w/ pivot points, makes the bar weak.

I think this would be a waste of time on my RS considering I have a MOMO trunk bar from the factory. But, it might make the struts more rigid....

BTW... eBay DOESN'T MAKE CAR PARTS!

What brand did you get?

this one looks like it won't bend that easy if it will bend at all
$12 bar will not probably be up to the task but $30 most probably will,
to be honest that's how much a reinforcing piece of metal should cost.

I'm gonna tryit

PS: on my last 2 cars I had cusco's all around so I have something to compare with
