Ebay strut bars

Are the strut bars that I see on ebay for $15 any good or are they pieces of sh**? Are any of the generic product on ebay worth the money?

Blacklancer03 bought one and it didn't even fit, it rubbed on something in the engine bay.

They suck- they usually don't fit and they flex like you wouldn't believe.... a club member forced one on his car and broke his cruise control controller. PM me if you want some stuff that works!

yeah RRM had a pic of a guy standing on an ebay strut bar...anda guy standing on there single bolt strut bar..

the rrm one didn't bend, and the e-bay one was almost on the ground...a good 2" bend easily.

rrm sells em for liek $90....i believe, or the ralli-spec k-strut bar for a lil more.

This is what you get if you go with the E-bay strut bar


Go with Engineerboy's strutbar. You're gonna pay more than E-bay, but you're gonna pay less than RRM. Just like RRM, Engineerboy makes quality product, but for a fraction of the price.

I've had his strut bar on my car for months, and I love it since day 1 Mad props to Engineerboy
