EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
I was poking around on E-Gay and found a pack that has front and rear lower tie bars and front and rear strut tower bars for 36 bucks for my CRX. Yes I know you get what you pay for but still thats a ------- hella good deal. I was sort of thinking if those would do anything at all I might buy them and then replace them one by one with quality parts when I have the money. Anyone ever buy one or feel like flaming me for wanting to buy egay parts?

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
I knew a kid who bought them, he said they didnt work too bad at all. Better than stock anyways.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
the best "homemade tie bar" that i used to see that the autcrossers did, take a steel rod, about 1" in diamenter and weld it between your strut towers. works better than anything. and 99% of the time, you can find a "scrap peice" at your local scrap metal yard for a few dollars. (the price of metal)

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
they're all the same to me....I've use from brand name to no name and I've never felt any difference between the two

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
buddy of mine got one of those cheap ebay strust bars for his matrix and looked of good quality. it might help some or none but for the ebay price who cares. iam thinking of getting that four pack if you do let us know if you feel any difference.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
That's a pretty good deal for everything. Always check the shipping charge, sometimes some egayers will put a really low buy it now price, and charge you a ton for shipping. Mike your deal looks pretty good anyways, although you know it doesn't take $45 to ship that out, but the total price is pretty good

Are mine the pretty ones? Will the pretty ones give you more HP and better handling? Ugly= +7hp and .30 G. so there you go. :P |
Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
Damn, they don't have the H Brace for the CRX but I think ill still go with the tie bar kit. Its pretty much half the price anyways. It comes out to be only like 60 shipped or something.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
damnit...what the hell is an "h" brace
|
Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
All of the ones posted are useless. They all have pivot points. That will just make the car parralelogram, gather than stiffen anything.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
I have the ones that have a pivot point like the ones in the picture. This is in a eg coupe. They are worthless. I can't tell the difference at all. What you want are front and rear sway bars. Those make your car's attitude in corners much more flat.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
I got this for my new EG8. It's a knock off Moooogen FST but it's burley as hell and looks nice with the bare SS look and welds still showing. It's a little more than the other egay bars but there's no pivot points and I couldn't even flex it pulling on it under my knee.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
Now what type of pivot points are we talking about as bad. Side to side or up and down? I know for the lower tie bars if they can go up and down when the holes are vertical its fine. For the upper ones thats a problem. Mabey then I'll have to replace the top ones with quality parts, but I would probley end up doing that anyways.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
The lower ones are fine to have pivot and adjusment points. The upper ones, Tower bars, can't have em. Ideally you want to have to use a sledge hammer to get em over the studs.

Re:EGAY Strut/Tie Bars
I think you better off just buying the quality part.
