Ebay Strut Tower bar......
Well 24.99 isn't all that bad for a strut bar. I just got it today via UPS. 
I went the ghetto route because they told me the CS one was just like the ones on ebay. Check it out guys:

Here it is installed.
I am about to go drive to my gurls work. I will come back and post about what it changed if anything.

I have one of these, and theyre definitly low quality. The bracket didnt fit just right, and when I tried to force it to fit (stupid idea) i torqued off one of the spring mount bolts. Though once I enlarged it with a drill, it worked fine, didnt rub on the alternator either. and once it fits, I can't see a more expensive bar being that much more of a value.

Low quality for 24.99 shipped. I think not. Mine fit very nicely to boot.

putting it down daily
Got the same one- had to go w/ the shorter belt on the alt- it was rubbing and buzzing like a **** under acceleration. But I think the belt I had before was longer than stock, cause the alt was at the top of it's adjustment when the belt was tensioned correctly. No probs since.

Get a shorter belt.
plus 2 new shorter belts would cost me like 20 bucks at least when I bought it for 24.99 ;p
