Default Ebay strut tower bar review

Last week I ordered a $75 dollar strut tower bar off ebay. The price was a little sketch seeing how name brand stb's tend to be twice that price, but after installing I'm very satisfied. The front end is much stiffer and she takes curvy roads like never before! Although our cars are pretty stiff from the start, I would recommend a stb as a cheap suspension mod especially if you've already done the sway bars!

ps.. gt/cs hood scoop is currently being painted and an isimple is in the mail! thank you uncle sam!

Thank you very much for the review as I been eye-balling the same exact strut bar on ebay and can't seem to understand why it is priced so affordable. I think I will be using my fat rebate on this mod

I know BOI hasn't been very popular lately, but they came through for me on this.

You noticed a difference after already GT swaybars huh? I was thinking about a STB, but thought it only worth while on a vert.
