How are the Ebay strut bars? Can you even notice a difference? Are they sturdy?

I bought my front and rear strut bars off Ebay for $20 total.. and another ~$30 to ship them :pukey

They sitffened my chassis real well too, when I first installed it I thought I did something wrong because it felt toooo stiff.. but now I'm used to it and it's awesome for cornering.
IMO the EBay strut bars are just your plain no thrills ordinary looking bars that do the same job as all the fancy Neuspeed and co branded bars but without the engraved name and premium price.

PS. post a pic of where the brackets come through the plastic sides. Mine's a big gapping hole about 1 square inch on one side and 3 slits(1 was a miscalculated cut) on the other :pfft:

Actually, the Neuspeed front bar has advantages, ie attaches in two places, solid construction, etc.

wow that strut bar really kills your trunk space. atleast in the civics, they're further into the trunk.
