Default Strut Bar Help

I already searched and didn't find the answers I was looking for. I'm looking into a slightly used Strut Bar for my 2000 LS...and it's a Tenzo R. Has anybody heard a lot about this brand? And if so...are they any good? I can get it for $70 + shipping. This a good deal?

I think that price is pretty steep for one used bar...

Yeah, Tenzo R & OB is prettymuch the same thing. Same w/ Megan racing, etc....Basically, they take another reputable company's design (DC sport, AEM, Unorthodox, etc.) and copy it exactly, but due to not having to go through R&D, they can offer it for a way lower price. hence the reason I thought that bar was way pricey. You could get a real used DC for that much...

The Tenzo R bar does not look very rigid. I'd recommend the Neuspeed front strut tower bar, which you can get for around $125 new.

DC Sports strut bars are completely for looks. you really think those holes help rigidity?

I can't find a Neuspeed for less than $185 new.
