Give me a break. A $5 strut bar from Ebay is not going to be as rigid as a Neuspeed, Spoon, or even OEM bar. They are not the same.
Thank the lord, someone who KNOWS what they're talking about.

I've seen the debate for years, and most people are still insisting a $5 knockoff Mugen strut bar yields the same performance as the real one.

So basically what youre saying is, a strut bar is a strut bar, unless its different, then its a different strut bar. "A $5 strut bar will perform the same as an $80 strut bar, if its the same".
:lmao:

let's look at what a strut bar does. it connects to two mounting points for the strut/coil assembly with a peice of metal in order to stiffen the chassis. you're comparing metals. if two seperate bars are made of the same metal then you'll get the same result. just as long as one isn't made out of wood and the other plastic.

Like I said, quality of the welds, mounting points, material used, density of material used, thickness...theres a big difference in strut bars. An aluminum strut bar is not an aluminum strut bar. I dont know why youre trying to convince yourself otherwise...they are different.

Goes to show the little that you know. LV makes more than just 'purses'.

:werd: People who have the crap will always insist they are getting the same quality as a 'name brand'.
