I had that for a while, not the best strut bar on teh market , but if used in conbination with the stock one it's better than not having one, it's very light, made out of alluminum but a little too soft to compete with real strut bars.

i dont like the "budget" route your taking!
go big or go home

not really taking a budget route. i just got tired of the constant bouncing with coils and decided to go with spring. this is the only 2 point bar i could find. i did not know if it was good. just because something is inexpensive doesn't mean it's crap.

eh. works fine for me. just daily driving of course. I don't pound on it too hard smile.gif but it does the job. i'd say it's worth it

For about the same price (and a bit of mod'n) you can get something like this......
Vibrant SS
Vibrant Anodized Blue
Megan
Myself I have the Megan one, and it only took about 40 min of drilling to get it fitted.
what kinda mod'n are we talking about?

Drilling new holes for the strut mounts to line up through. Lemme see if I cant find something real fast.....

You can see where the holes that were on the ring, and obviously where I had to drill.

if its adjustable, don't touch it. a friend of mine works for a company that sells summit racing gear. they call them mickey mouse (not sure why) but in short they snap. needs to solid apparently, the hole + thread for the adjustable bit seriously weakens the bar apparently
I've had mine for awhile now and have had no problems.
actually, all things considered, on a street setup the stress is a fair bit lower than on a race car. still, be cautious
