Ebay. Accords dont get too much benefits from rear strut tower bars so the difference between brand name and no name makes no difference.

For the rear, get tie bars (Cusco, OBX) and sways (see other thread). At least those won't cut into your trunk space.

The difference in handling between an ebay and brand name rear upper strut bar is little to none. Ebay strut bars are quality built and will do as good of a job as a brand name would. If you want to experience a difference in handling go with the rear sway and front upper strut. Im not sure why its like this for accords though. Maybe has to do with the design of the chassis and the FF factor.

i would definately look into getting sway bars. the front upper strut bar is fine for cosmetics, but having to cut into your trunk for something that doesn't do much isn't worth it.

yeah,,, i've tried the lower tie bar on my 99 accord, however it does look nicer. But i don't feel much difference, i guess the design of the chasis.
