I was looking at ebay and I found some awesome prices on a front and rear strut bar package.



I was wondering if these cheap bars are worth it, it's like $40 for both of them, and I normally just see one strut bar going for around $60-$70.

i don't see why not. all the rear bar is going to do is take up little trunk space. but for that price, go for it!!!

I have a front strut bar I got off ebay and it's holding up pretty well.. BUT remember you get what you pay for.. so be careful on Ebay buying auto parts..

Indeed, I wont be losing much though. I'll post after I install them and can tell if they were worth it.

AS LONG AS THEY FIT PERFECTLY, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY NOT GO FOR THE CHEAP STRUT BARS.

Just check them periodically for rust. I nicked one during install and didn't think nothing about it. Rains came through and one day I went out to put a new piece under the hood, and was quite the surprised one. FL has got a little more humidty and salt water to deal with than KY. Other than that, they served me well for a few years. I just upgraded only because I had the funds and am trying to spruce up the engine bay.

I have those tower bars on my b14 there "OK" nothing special, you can notice its a little stiffer when turning hard, but these bars flex under hard pressure so... i'd look into a Stillen, but for the price there not bad. The Stillen is 180$ just for the front and like 150$ for the rear IIRC.

well i have a little info on this, if the bars fit then they will work, and when i bought my rear i had do some research and i found that some "JDM" front bars fit the rear of a b14, but there you need to do your own reashearch

"JDM" styla!

why would you put a front strut bar on the rear? They have some packages with front and rear for 40$ those are what i have for now.
