15984, Upper Rear strut bar recommendations Posted by fasterGS, Feb-24-03 04:23 PM
I am looking for a decent looking upper rear strut bar, any recommendations? I had the Matrix brand one before, and I know I don't want one that looks like that. Thanks (pictures would be awesome!)

Oh, and it needs to be functional, as in actually helps handling.

I recently bought a rear strut bar off ebay, it looks great IMO, and I definately felt a difference as far as handling. I don't see why someone would pay $60+ for a damn aluminum (or steel) bar when you can get the same thing for $15. IMO the only difference is one has a brand name, and one doesn't. Here's a link to the bar I have http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2404917627&category=33716

Anyone have pics of the stillen bar? My best friend has a stillen front bar on his maxima and it is pretty beefy.

So, what are you saying Jason, the strut bar you sold me is either: 1) ugly as all hell or 2) isn't functional

Shit man, I wouldn't know...we put them both on at the same time and I felt a difference...if the back one isn't doing anything, at least it's nice and shiny! :)

I would go with either
Stillen rear(pic of front but rear bar looks the same):

RRE rear(it's on a 3g but the bar looks the same installed):
