Default $25.00 Strut Bar

I found this on Ebay, Im guessin it would fall in the catagory of you get what you pay for? Anyone bought one? Do these things really make a difference? Are the "good" ones worth the $$?

Let me know if they do something I might buy one.

Default dont get that one

That one looks really weak. Now if you want a cheap one. This is the one I bought on Ebay and it really did make a difference for my xA. But if you think you want one it not a bad starter one. I really noticed the difference as soon as i installed it.

Is it hollow? Looks like to cup holders attached to a hollow poll.

you can get em at www.scionfx.comand you actually do feel a little difference after putting it on. and it has a screw type end which can be adjusted to make it really stiff or tweak for a little more flex.

both me and drandolph give em thumbs up. very impressing for the price

procarparts.com test fitted their cheap strut bar with my car
It look exactly the same one ScionFX offer (straight across withe blue ends and titanium color coating), I am not sure about the price but I don't think it will be close to $100 since most of their strut bars are in the $50 range

Difference? I don't know... Maybe and maybe not... I got it for free so no complain. It does make your engine look good so I guess it is worth the 50 bucks since people spending more than that on stuff that make your car look good.
