no frills--worth it...there are two reviews on the parts review section of this website...check it out...

 

Get APR!!!



But if youre on a budget get megan.. I can get this for you

 

front strut bars won't do a lot for the xb

 

what about xA?
Im just hoping this strut is good quality because the blue would match my CAI

 

I would go DC sports before APR thats for sure.

 

Sure, I have 1 DC strut bar(xA) here waiting for a new owner ...\

sorry for the shameless plub

 

Just for looks mostly it might be worth it. I got the Tanabe one for about $90 it does
tighten up the stering. You could get the Megan cheaper from ebay.

that APR looks nice .. and do i see camber plates there....??

lol

 

so basically theres no way this megan one is as high quality as DC's?

 

yes because of DC's welded hinges and of the double bars. Probably a bit heavier than single bared strut bars, but the DC will definitely work better than any of those bars.

 

thanks for the post C2

 

I have the DC Sports steel bar and it is pretty heavy. It's all one piece, unlike the Megan bar, so I'd assume it is alot sturdier. Also matches the phantom grey paint perfect. If you have an xA it is a pain to install because the hood cowl and wipers apartially cover up the struts...there is a DIY guide on here in the tech section on how to remove the wiper assembly if you have to...

Here's a pic of it installed:

 

Ya the DC looks to be the best quality strut for under 100 bucks... cant go wrong it seems. I'm gonna pick one up and install it when I install my monroe struts... kill 2 birds with one stone.
btw glorious... notice any improvements on handling? could u describe? thanks bro.

 

Can't feel any difference really from daily driving. It is really close to the firewall, so not much flexing is going to be going on there anyway. I just got it for looks, it matches the paint really well

 

I can post a picture of mine tomorrow. check out http://ebstores.us/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=xb $30 plus shipping and a great person to do business with. I noticed a differance accelerating out of corners and quick turns, totally worth it.

I definately noticed a difference in cornering. The Megan bar works as well as anything else. the difference in flex from on bar to another is minimal. I think the Megan looks great and the price is right.

 

I ran the Megan in the xB I had and it worked great to me. Still have it cause i took it off when I sold the xB and if it wasn't red I would put it on my wifes xA and a strut bar doesn't do well with air ride
