It matters if you want to have 2 front upper ones i suppose like myself. The neuspeed bar seemed to work a little better than my ebay bar and it bolts up in a different spot but good luck finding one. All the ebay strutbars will work the same.

They all do the same thing. I dont see how one could be so much better than the other. Its a piece of metal that bolts down from one side to the other to prevent body roll...

There is a difference. Cheaper designs will flex with the body doing nothing. That is why RRE makes theirs out of steel. The neuspeed bar is also not aluminum for that same reason. All metal is not created equal. If you want a quality bar you want cromoly steel.

yeah, I didn't notice a difference with my ractive one (65 new at summit) I only got it because it was $20 shipped from performancecenter.com
Off topic, but...
I don't really hear people talk about them too much, but I've gotten a couple things and for good prices. My bumper was $400 shipped when I've been quoted as high as $600+ and I had never seen it for less than $400 + shipping when I bought it.

I had a cheapy set of ebay bars, then a nice set of APR bars and I noticed not one difference between the 2, in fact, i thought both were such a waste of money, i took them off and have nothing on there now, lol.

I have every E-Bay Bar you can buy - FU,FL,RU,RL, and D-pillar, I also have a set of tociko Blues and Springs, and Poly Bushings. I auto cross and Its with the PCA so we only use one track. I have had my struts, springs, and bushings on and my car handled great and my times were usually around 53.Xxx upon the installation of the strut bars I was able to drop my time somehow to about 49.xxx - call it an advancing driver (im only 18) but I like to think the eBay bars were a good investment
