haha to the notion of megan spoken of as a superior good

save up some nickles and dimes and buy Stealth-custom-fab.com's strut bars

best option available search for jonnie fraz's threads on the matter

All the ebay bolt in strut bars don't really do anything. They're so flimsy that you can bend the bar with your hand. I wouldn't waste money on them.

Better to get a welded bar between the rear strut towers.

Rear strut bars don't do anything.
The rear doesn't even have struts, it's a multi-link (like 5 link suspension.)

A Strut bar for the Front is Awesome. Think about the front, the suspension geometry is shaped like: LI
The Strut bar goes on top of the LI, and with it there is much less flex, and less body roll.

On the rear, there are already multiple links at the bottom and the top (the front is missing any links on the top between struts.)
I love my DC sports Front sway bar. I bought a knock-off ebay rear for "looks" but haven't put it in yet.

As far as megans vs. cusco or tien. Its a fucking strut bar. If you pay $200 for a tien strut vs. $100 for a megans and they are the same material/width/strength then you have more money then sense. It's a metal bar, not coil-overs or something complex.

+1 for the stealth fab custom strut bars. I also have their tension arm brace. Great prices and his have no moving joints, all one piece.
