Guys, uber suspension or not (thanks for the compliments though ), the one and only thing that makes a strut bar useful/less is its flexibility, or lack thereof. The reason the strut bars on ebay are so cheap are because they're made with really weak materials, they're adjustable, so that further eliminates their effectiveness, and while you might get some gains, the gains you'll get from a solid, no-to-little flex bar with no adjustability or weak spots are far more noticeable and worth it. To be honest, you may feel a slight gain with the ebay bars, but they're really more for show.

If you want a good strut bar that will actually help the car's handling (which, by the way, due to the physics, strut bars should really improve upon, by eliminating the flex the strut towers experience when load is placed on them in corners), find a solid bar that bolts right up specifically designed for our cars. There's a handful on ebay that fit this description, hayame makes one, and hurricane...well, we won't go down that road.

Expect to pay at least 100 bucks for a USEFUL EFFECTIVE strut bar. Otherwise, just by the ebay ones for looks...
