Ebay Strut Bar

I was looking through Ebay for front and rear strut bars and I came across this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1845946165

$9.99!? WTF? Explain this someone!

Well, shipping is 12.00 bucks. Usally when something is going a little bit cheaper they make up for it by jacking up the shipping price. Its still not that bad of a deal though. I bought one of those strut bars from ebay. I bet you will have to trim it a little so it fits correctly.

you spend $10 on that crappy bar and you get what you pay for. If you buy that bar let me jump on it and if it don't bend I'll give you another $10 to buy the rear one.

but you could jump on my nuespeed bar all day and it won't flex

fitment is usually crap too.

Stay away, unless you wanna add 10 pounds of crap metal to your car

i have the cheap ones too and they fit fine, but i think the weak points are probably the fact that its not once piece like the neuspeed so it probably flexes were the bolts screw into the actual bar, but hey it was cheap

Yeah, don't bother with those ****ty-ass bars! I first loved mine for the first couple weeks. 2 months later the bar doesn't do crap. It feels like stock again it's so weak. Save and get Neuspeed bar.

I just bought the front bar off EBay. I won the auction at like 4 bucks but shipping was 12. So I figure 16 bucks isn't a whole lot. I should get it on Monday or Tuesday. I'll let you guys know how it is and I'll take pics.

Yeah yeah, it's only 16 bucks but it won't even work after a month or two.
