Does anyone know how the megan front and rear strut bars feel on a 240? Theres a guy willing to sell me both for 70 dollars, but I just want to know I'm getting a good quality product. Thanks.

It's about as gray market as it's going to get. They're all the same unless you go with something as baller as GT Spec or Johnny Fraz.

+1 For Johnny Fraz
I have a Megan one in the corner of my bedroom now after getting the bar from him.

all the same just buying the name really...

im gonna sound like an ass to people who support legitimate brands, but it really doesn't matter what brand you get for a strut bar.

a cheap, polished ebay bar is gonna do the same job as a jdm cusco one. you'd be better off getting something cheap off ebay. if you have the skills, you could also fab one up if you really wanted to.

on the other hand, when you start talking about multi-link suspension components, coilovers, etc.. that's a different story.

I'm running these in my car

I pretty much decided how hard can it be to mess up a strut bar and got megan cuz it was cheap

So far the welds havent broke and they've been holding up

This is the only megan part I would say go for it

Of course the solid strut bars will be better, but even the cheap ones make a big difference.

...what the fuck is wrong with ur car that would cause the bar or welds break? seriously, if you have to worry about that, im worried for u.

As for strut bars, honestly a metal pole and some way to fasten it down is just as good as the tri-angle super jdm bar. There is no way of damaging the strut bar unless u total your car. These bars are used are braces to connect the driver side and passenger side and thats it. I have tried ebay brands and jdm stuff and they all were the same.

BTW 70 is a ripoff. u should not pay more than 40 for both, maybe not even 40

can't comment on Megan, but I used to have some ebay special "BOMZ" f&r upper bars on my crx.
did the job just fine for the chump change.
$70, $20 or whatever, it should be fine.

If you don't like it, you can always sell it back without loosing much
