[TitaniumBarbell]

Hi to everyone! I'm just ebay-browsing today and found this Yaris extremely cheap Strut bar:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-YARIS-07-09-08-FRONT-STRUT-TOWER-BAR-3DR-4DR-HB_W0QQitemZ260294337852QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_ Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item260294337852&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A131 8#ht_2909wt_1585

I'm not sure if have any difference this cheap bar VS Tanabe bar.
Anyone have been the experience with both cheap and branded strut bars?
Is changed the stability and handling of the car?

Here's an ebay one ,

The ends are different. How feels the stability car with this ebay strut bar?

BTW nice car!

I guess the stability has more to do with the width of the bar... like a 27mm bar would be more stiffer than a a19mm bar

Please correct me me if i am wrong

From what i have seen , the Tanabe might have a bit more strength in the
end , but very minimal , preformance depends on install to be honest ,
ie wheather you preload the bar or not and in which direction you preload it ( pulling the tower in or pushing it out ).
No doubt if i am wrong someone will speak up. :thumbsup:
