Whiteline?
Cusco?
Greddy?
Nismo?  
What's  a good bar for not a crazy price?
thanks!

they all do the same thing so I would go with the PDM one for $40.
It depends if name brand is a thing for you.

a good one is one that's made of metal and fits properly, that's about all there is to it. they don't really do that much, i wouldn't spend a bunch of money on it.

I agree...
A strut bar is a strut bar.. I have a Pilot Motorsports and it works pretty well for a 40$ strut bar

PDM is fine, I got mine for $40 and it's the best 40 I've spent on my car so far.

Avoid styrofoam stbs, those will just sqeak and cause you trouble <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

STBs are simple tools, it's damn near impossible to make a bad STB.

Kreator · 06-17-2002, 08:38 AM

Hrm. get one from ebay for like $15 + $10S&H.... that's what i have.

JDM S13 · 06-17-2002, 08:46 AM

Thanks guys,

just wanted to make sure.

WaKeMaN · 06-17-2002, 07:58 PM

Yeah Ebay!  

I got a big, fat, red (ahem..OBX.. I know...) STB for $15 + 12 shipping.  Can't beat that.  There's almost that much money worth of aluminum there.   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
