hey I bought those same ones, the kit works great, better cornering, less sway .. some swap still, only they are strut bars, not anti-sway, but improvements all around tightness.

I dont think there would be much of a difference between the cheapo's and Dc-Sports, they are metal bars connecting your struts, as I see it, its not a big-ticket item anyway, so cheap is good to go with.

I wouldn't buy internals for my engine from off-name brands, but tower and brace bars I would.

I just had to take my front lower tie bar off, because my header does not give enough clearance ( the only trouble I've had on my bars )

one thing i notice, that when I jack my car off the ground, inorder to work under-neith, my car's both sides raise up at the same time sorta :P means my chassis is MUCH stiffer. I got the 4 Bomz bar kit, but I know there's a 5 piece kit, with the extra C-Pillar bar, you should hunt for that kit! cause I have to buy mine seperate.

if you have passengers in your back seat a c-pillar bar is not safe

Ebay strut bars are one of the very few things that can be omitted from the "get what you pay for" list. The bars mainly stop body rool from the frame flexing. It was almost night and day difference when I put mine on my last civic.

why wouldn't it be safe? its a bar, you can hold onto it? :P and probably no one would be in the back seat, since I took mine out! )

^ well it is just if you have passengers in the backseat, there is the possibility of them hitting their head on them if you were ever in an accident.

very true. my friends ALWAYS complain when sitting in the back. just sitting there they hit their heads, it u get into an accident or somethin the whiplash will smack their heads right into the bar causing serious injuries....one the reason why i now have my back seats out.
