ebay rear strut bar

Hey guys, ok nso I found a rear strut bar on ebay and I know some of you have it installed. If I rembered correctly someone even painted the orange parts blue. I was wondering if its any good? It looks just like the mazda speed one but for 50$ I'm kinda hesitant. And info on quality/fitment would be appreciated. Thanks!

most of them require cutting of the support and removal of the "bucket" the speaker sits in. if you have your heart set on that ill sell ya an actual corksport one for 70 shipped

Cork sport was my first choice but the styling of these type require no cutting at all they supposedly use holes already there.... I think I'm just guna order it and see how it goes. I mean it's only 50$

i know ppl complain about having to cut into the tower and carpet to run the bar, but are you ever really planning on removing it?

I have the same one you linked, next time please give us a link that isn't for a mobile device though...

On the bar: I had to smack it around a bit to fit, but it's fine otherwise. My stock TII speakers fit with no problem.

it started life as a ebay strut bar the only thing i kept was the ring that bolts ontop of the strut, the middle piece i machined outta a solid chuck of 6063 alum and it sandwich bolts to a plate on the floor with 4 1/2-13 bolts its all alum too minus the parts that bolt to the struts only cost me 50 bucks in mat.

Why not? As long as you can adjust it. It's just a metal bar to stiffen up the rear, so if it's adjustable I say go for it. Cusco is nice because you don't need to adjust it, it's just a perfect design, has perfect fitment and is lightweight. My friend has a custom metal bar just bolted to his and works fine.
