front strut bar

[felya589]

i was looking on ebay for a front strut bar when i came across this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03...ayphotohosting

i was wondering if anyone has bought it or tryed it casue the trd bar is around $150.

I bought the SPW bar, I think it was like 40shipped. Oh this ones cheaper hah um for 30bucks its worth a shot, its not as good as a trd strut bar.

never heard of it before, but i'm sure it's inferior to the TRD bar... the TRD strut brace is a one-piece bar, this one appears to be a three-piece one...

If you want something good and strong and sturdy, stick with a one piece. I just installed the TRD bar a couple weeks ago. Its pretty. And it works wonders

It looks like a piece of junk. It has a pivot point on each side. That defeats the purpose of getting an STB.

[Gellenole]

it is crap compared to 1 piece, but if you're on a budget it'll do about 80% of the work you need on a bar.

if you just wanna add some bling to the engine bay, go for it. the 25 buck price wont put dent in the wallet. that's way cheaper than a full tank of 87 around here.

performance wise, don't expect to see any improvements.

I can't see how eliminating deflection on one plane only does 80% of the job.

That STB is for looks basically.

As TRD said, that bar will do about as much good as putting TRD stickers on your car to add 15+ HP

Damn it...and the sticker weight a lot less than the bar too!!! I'm screwed!

Will the TRD front strut bar fit a 2005 LE 4-cylinder?

You made a smart choice.

I'm not a tight ass, but I don't piss money away for nothing. You didn't either by purchasing a TRD STB.
