..........Another proud e-Bay strut bar owner here. mine had NO fitment problems and looks just fine, the extra $100 for the cool Racing Beat logo was not worth it to me. Mine may flex 1/10000 of an inch more than one for 5 times the price, but I offset that by cleaning the dirt off of my car to make it lighter, or by adding .0003 psi to my tires.

Think money is no object when it comes to stiffness? Seam weld your car and then we'll talk.

I was also wondering about it but. I think I am sticking with the one From cork sport. I like the oval shape a bit more.

I have to admit I would pay more for the 4 point from CP at least that one is well worth the $100 or so.

I know you meant the knock-off one. I don't like the way that looks. I am going with CP if I still have cash for it later on. RIght now I am ordering all the parts for my current project.

I found my out of wreck car, at the low, low, price of $5.00.

They do make a difference. I can feel the car handle a little differently, if its out of the car.

Thanks for the reviews! It's always good to know that something performs well for alot less cash.

I agree that just about anything will do the job, I used electrical metal conduit, cut, flattened and drilled for a rear tower bar on my 86 Honda Civic.
It freakin works, so who cares, function over fashion right?

LOL, I love that!!! electrical conduit as a strut bar, the coolest part would be saying that you paid $1 for your strut bar from Home Depot racing. Also like you said it works right? That's all that really matters, hell I would have spray painted it yellow or something and it would look like a store bought product.

BTW, I hope you stay away from the dark side (Hondas), and stick with the 7. Let the ricers have the "Civic Nation" all they want, I love the one of a kind Wankel.

This was no ordinary Civic, it liked to hop up on 3 wheels and snort flames when I autocrossed it.

They make a difference? i can not tell the difference after i installed my Racing Beat strut bar.

I think you need to have a fairly stiff suspension that is sorted out before you can even use a fraction of the potential of the strut bar.

THe only reason ihave my there because it looks cool .It says racing beat when i open my hood
=)

heheh
