the problem is. should i buy the corksport strut bars or should i get the ebay ones. They dont seem any different but will the performance differ. If anyone has either of these product feel free to weigh in. price for them isnt a problem. its actual performance for them that matters.

If you have the money, the Corksport ones are larger, thicker and much more rigid. I went with the Corksport ones but never tried the eBay ones, but when I got mine, others have and noticed a difference.

chances are you won't notice difference except for price

i dont know what to do. hopefully i can get more people to weigh in because its very hard for me to make a decision. Im a Libra. I mean corksport looks a little bit more beefy to me. while the ebay looks lighter but more fragile. i mean i dont want something that is gonna not do what its made to do. and that is prevent less chassis flex. you know what im getting too.

ebay ones will be adequate enough imo. You need to get subframe connectors also and lower tie bar if you really want to make things rigid.

i have the ebay strut bars front and back and i had them over a year there still going strong haven't had any problems with them . they haven't gotten busted or just broke easy now i also have a stiffer suspension and it does make i difference i have less body roll and can make a fast turn . so the bars are light and durable Bro. they also keep its shine . so good luck on Your decision !!-

im actually now thinking about doing some research on making them due to the simple fact that most after market stuff for our car is hard to find. or atleast hard for me to find. also does anyone have a idea as to who would make a cai for the mx3

Ok so I guess im gonna get the ebay one. Seeing as they are hella cheaper, and people haven't had problems with them.
