I already got Hotchkis Sways and Strut bars and the Megan C-Pillar just found this while looking in ebay and wanted some input on it!

I think I will go with a harness bar and some Recaro or Buddy Club Seats...

"Made Of High Quality Carbon Fiber Style" ...
WTF? Does that make any sense? I'd seriously stay away from that.

I see almost zero point in one of these. They only prevent the panels they connect to from moving towards or away from each other. The floor of the car has plenty of tensile strength to do that for the most part and the bar is mounted right along it. With no bracing to anything else in the car, they would be doing next to nothing.

If you're going to end up making a maze for your rear passengers and fill your car up with these bars, just get a roll cage and weld it in.

You'll tie everything together rather than randomly connect two panels in different locations.

x2... what is "high quality carbon fiber style" anyway... there's high quality carbon fiber and then there's lower quality simulated carbon fiber. as with most of ebay, this is clearly marketing geared towards the ignorant and ricey.
