Default El Cheepo Strut bars

Well after reading the posts and spending the money I installed a set (4) of those 65 dollar ebay Megan Racing strut braces on my honda last week. The votes are in and I likem! Money well spent to pull the body roll out of your honda. A few months ago I also put on KYB AGX's on all four corners...definately money well spent ... The install was easy...you definately need to take your time and either have an extra set of hands or a lift and a tranny jack. The mount holes on the front lower bar were not big enough and had to be drilled out but everything else was plug-n-play! The only thing that sux is that now my car out-handles my tires! Oh well ya can't have it all!!!

Sweet...I had bought the car for gas mileage but, like my jeep, it's quickly becoming another toy. I'm already looking at wheels and new tires to wrap them in...and then I'll have to get springs to get rid of the infamous GAP! I must find somebody that'll give me a ride to see if I can handle the stiffness...

I got them off of ebay. x2100---All I can say about the brand is they came in a MR box. My paypal acct still has the ebay page saved, here is the link if it works for you...actually there is no link...I'll post a pick...they were 62 and some small change... Granted they're probably generic but I'm not racing, just wanted to pull out the body roll...and that they did. Plus they don't look to shabby...

I also heard that Bomz were pretty good. Does anyone have experience with these?

one thing to look for if you are serious about the handling, like if you are getting into auto-x, is to get them that dont have pivot points. I am looking to the Carbing ones. but if you arent into any kind of competition, they are pretty pricey for a normal street car.
