strut bars

Personally with my experiences I have about four or five friends that have purchased the eBay strut bars with mixed results. My front bar was too high and hit the hood. I had to cut out some of the hood support to make it fit which was no biggie because it's weight reduction, right? haha. With everyone I know, the fitment of the rear strut bars has not been a problem. Another one of my friends' front strut bar hit the plastic harness cover near the fuel rail and pushed on the plastic almost hitting the valve cover. Two other friends had bars that fit perfectly with no problems whatsoever. All in all, for the price, they provide a large benefit. After going through five sets, I can definately say they're worth the twelve dollars a piece or whetever they're going for now. I would compare them to a fat prostitute...they're cheap, but they still do they're job. I decided to sell my rear bar to someone else and buy a four-point mount bar instead. It's also a no-name brand off of eBay, but the manufacturer actually has a website as well I believe. It's a CP Racing bar in black. I recieved it yesterday and test fitted it real quick. It looks as if she's going to fit perfectly. The craftmanship is pretty good as well, and the bar seems very solid. All in all, If you're worried about getting a bad one just spend the 12 bucks and sell it or make it work if you get a bad one. They can only be so far off. If you get a good one keep it, and you're golden. The rear bar, from what I know always works. Hope this helps....
