that looks like the RS rear trunk bar right? Do you have the Mitsu P/N for that?

I was actually looking for info regarding the rear strut tower bar from ebay, like this one linked below:

That's the Cusco trunk bar, the RS bar is flat. As for the tower braces, they look like they'd flex far too much to be worth anything.

RRM has a nice comparison pic.

E-bay bar:


Most E-bay stuff is garbage. (notice I said MOST)

You get what you pay for. That is a $26 E-bay bar. All bling.

RRM quality made bar:


This is a well built, well designed bar.

Definately keep shopping.

2nd Ebay bar is much better... That "RRM" bar looks like it would stress the sheet metal at the attachment points... It looks like a very nice piece, but I'd prefer a "ring" at it's base.

Having a bar there will be better than having no bar. The RRM bar will be more effective though.

The e-bay bar would probably snap with the first hard corner.....
