I was wondering if anyone has bought a ebay front strut bar.I bought a cusco for my last fd and i honestly did not feel that the car handled any better with it.

 

No, they're fine. I have one. I bought one a long time ago when there weren't so cheap.

 

some are crappier than others. The 'motoria' brand ones are a knock off of the cusco design. They work pretty good. Nice and solid construction.

 

i been wondering as well since ive been looking on ebay more. i was reminded the other day that my friend used to have a 10$ ebay one on his old car, and it was definintly good. wasnt an rx7 though....

 

I bought a Megan bar for my FD on ebay. I'd like to get an R1 bar but those cost like 10x more than the ebay ones. The front end feels a bit tighter but most people wont notice the difference on a street car.

 

i have one installed in my car for months now and it works fine. basically its just a piece of metal that reinforces your suspension, nothing special. they are all the same and the expensive ones you are just paying for the name.

 

I have one on mine and I spent more on shipping than I did for the part 10.00 total. Seems to be good. It took about 5 minutes to install.

 

they're fine, strut bars are the ultimate in low tech. it's not rocket science.

 

how much clearance do you get with the ebay brand? Will it fit over xtra large piping?

 

Not much clearance but if you are within stock spec (in height) you should be OK. BTW: The brand name bars are pretty low also.
