6363, Are all strut bars made equal? Posted by markjavier, Feb-03-02 07:18 AM
Is one brand better than another or made better? I have seen prices vary greatly. TIA

Well the neuspeed group buy bar we just had is a special bar that mounts in a different place than the traditional shock tower mount. Meaning you could use 2 strut bars. The bad thing is that this strut bar is near impossible to find because Neuspeed discontinued it but like I said we just had a group buy and I'm gonna be one of dem lucky peeps with a rare neuspeed strut bar.
Any bar is better than no bar but there are good bars and bad bars. I have cheap ebay strut bars and they are flimsy as hell. If mainly depends on what material it's made of and design. LIke Tsudo has two bars. Or there will be ones with really thick bars or steel ones. etc.... Some bars block the oil car as well, mine I can barely slide out.

I think that as long as you went with a known brand you would be OK. The strut bar isnt going to make a dramatic difference anyway, and I think that at least in the front it would be better to have something than nothing at all. I paid 50 bux for my front and rear from ebay, they are made by Matrix. I can also barely get my oil cap off.
