I saw them on eBay too. But look at the disclaimer....


"Some products are intended for off-road or show purposes only. They are not intended to be used for regular driving conditions. The Manufacturer, distributor, and retailer are NOT responsible for any misuse for these items. Any use of this item other than its intended purpose voids any warranty given."

So it sounds like if you put it on your car and drive your car, all bets are off as to the effectiveness of these contraptions.

I could be wrong.

 

Cheap Cr*p. Don't buy em. Just another far east company trying to cash in on the MINI aftermarket craze.

 

I have seen these in person, and i have a rear "strut" bar on my car.

Its a fairly nicer bar for the money. I dont know if it is as effective as a nicer one, but it looks just as good in person as any of the other bars.

 

Not so is correct. Even though they are cheap, they are still decent. Any strut tower bar that is priced over $110 is OVER KILL. Most of the time you're only paying for the name.

Here's another thing, if you decide to put a strut tower bar on, be sure to use new mounting nuts. They're only .22 cents a piece from the dealership.

 

I bought one of these and just replaced it with the M7 in Black.

It did pretty well, the M7 is better but for the price this one works well enough and it does stiffen the front up.. I have the rear one also on my car.

PM me with an offer if you would like it.

 

Do you have the rear or front for sale? If nobody's pm'd you yet, I am interested.
