Looks just like the one I got off of eBay for $30. How much are they charging?

Cork Sport also sells some good cheap bars.

Yup Hamza, pretty much all bars are going to do just as well as another (within reason). I got mine off eBay just like Jerry, for the same price too, heheh.

All bars are not the same, remember you get what you pay for. Racing Beat has one of the most effective bars available.

I got the BOMZ strut bar from ebay. I had to file a very very small part to make it fit just right. other than that I have had no problems.

Not bad for $40. If it breaks you can usually bitch at the sellers(usually power sellers) and they will help you.

I've had mine for about 7 months and it hasn't had any problems.

Mine does touch the under lining(fire stuff) of my hood a little though.

I also have a ebay bar and had to file it a little but really with strut bars all your doing is paying a higher price for is looks/name brand they all do the same thing its like wealding a bar between your struts if you put a polished aluminum one on its gonna do the same thing as a rusty old scrap metal one just one looks nicer.

the only difference would be if it was a simple strut tower brace or a brace that also connects to the firewall like the mazdatrix bar. hell, the mazdatrix bar can even have an engine torque brace connected to it. if i had 350 bucks thats what i'd do.

ebay bars are absolute junk.

I had the Mazda Motorsports one, and it rubbed against my hood just a tad. Not bad though.
