I have been wanting to get a set but i dont know which ones i should get i seen some on ebay pretty cheap for both front and rear i also seen some on corksport but they are alot more pricy, i didnt know if anyone has gotten the ones off ebay and if they are good or not or if the ones off corksport are better?

I ordered the front one from Corksport just because I like the peice of mind and the fact that it looks a lot stiffer. It is actually a significant peice of metal compared to the tiny ones off ebay. You probably wouldn't notice the difference between the two though.

I should also point out that most the ebay auctions LOOK inexpensive, but you get hosed on shipping.

I've got the two off ebay. I've compared them to some civic ones, like Bomz, and others. There the same aluminum to me. I bet the Corksport ones are made from the same materials, just have different colors. I don't think there would be a real difference between them, than the price.

I have a Vibrant one on the front. I think its decent and it clears my curve neck manifold nicely. My rear I have Ractive and I think its junk. It looks nice and thats all but its pretty flimsy. I recomend the Corksport bars. and there Type II rear bar is massive.

I had a ractive one for the front at one point.. It was ok. Corksport bars are a better design and are stiffer.

Corksport is the way to go. Both tower bars have more engineering and a better design than the ebay ones. I was able to tell a huge difference in body roll reduction and overall stiffness of the chassis. Corksport is a bit more pricey but you get what you pay for.

I ordered mine off of ebay like when I got my mx-3, 6+ years ago. Rear one you will have to cut out a bit of plastic trim to fit it in the trunk.

With any rear strut bar, you have to cut the trim out. Along with that trim you have to cut into the metal seatbelt brackets for the strut bar to even fit. Nothing a dremel can't fix.

If you're going to the track every weekend and planning to generate huge centrifical forces in the twisties then sure, maybe pay the substantial extra $$ for beefy Corksport bars. Otherwise, the Toucan/Ractive (I.E. ebay) ones do an xlnt job imho. I have 4 cars, '90 MX-6, '96 626, '95 MX-3 and '95 Yota Camry. Got ebay ones on all of em fr & rr and they work effin great. All street driving.

I have a matched set of corksport old school style strut bars in my GS. I paid a total of $70 for both. But then I was patient and watched for them to come up for sale in the FS forum Just saying that a little patience can get the best of both worlds.. decent price and higher quality
