Does it make any difference from a branded strut brace to an unbranded strut brace like ebay once?

well some are made of stronger metal. but i have seen a noticable diff on my girls teg when we put a 4 pc strut kit on. so i would say you could save some money with a ebay one.

Brands do make a difference. Metal choice also makes a difference. You will not feel anything from a ebay brace. Pick a name brand that is well known for makeing good bars and you will feel something different.

The ebay bars I have bent using my hands.

I noticed a difference when I switched from an ebay brand to my dc sports strut bar. The ebay brand was still pretty solid.

Im not sure I have a pic of the bar I had. I went from it to the stock SI/GSR bar and that made a world of difference.

Benen, PasswordJDM, Carbing and some others all make good bars. It is true, its the metal that is important. There are some good knock offs on ebay these days.
