i was wondering if those cheap front strut bars they sell on ebay for 10 to 15 bucks actually make a difference in the handling? does any one have one on their xb and can u tell me if it helps out.

I was wondering the same thing. I have my doubts because the bar is attached to the mounts with nuts & bolts - I would think they would pivot and not be as strong as the more expensive ones are welded to be one piece.

there's a reason they cost 10-15 bucks, they do absolutely nothing for your ride. Only strut bars that are a complete welded unit will offer you anything in terms of ride quality improvement. Might as well put a shower rod ascross your engine bay, the stuff is absolute crap!
