#15984, "Upper Rear strut bar recommendations"
Feb-24-03 04:26 PM by fasterGS

          

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!)

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

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
