i admit...i have bought the so called ebay strut bars... i have a set of four upper/lower/fron/rear and i paid a total of $50... the bars to me are strong and seem to do the job... i do admit... some of the bars out there are crap so i suggest to inspect them by hand before purchasing... and to the comment about the one to step on the bar is nonsense... the strut bars are to reinforce the chasis and absorb force coming from the ends not from the center... my 2 cents take it or leave it...
