here is the question that some of you might now the answer to: after lowering my car with a set of springs and struts, i was looking for a pair of strut bars (front and rear). I don't do any autocrossing so, I am not looking for best of the best. My final choices are RActive strut bars ($33 each), and Corksport (~$55). I know that ractive is a pretty cheap, but since corksport is saying that it's the same Strut bar as Mazdaspeed, I was interested if anyone knows how much better than Ractive it is? And if it's really worth buying? I need some input on these, thanks

I actually just got mine from corksport. after they were on backorder for ohhh a month and a half or so

.You get what you pay for... Most things offering performance for cheaper do it because your not getting what you get when you pay the good money. true to many things this is... yes =]

my brother just got Ractive strut bars, I started to tighten them, and the bolt that holds the bar to the strut tower started to bent.... I will probably get myself a set from Corksport, and see what the difference is

strut bar is strut bar... All you pay for is the NAME (and the look)

Of course, for the majority of people, they wont be able to notice.

This is true. a lot of people are just after the look and they just think there is a diffrence

that's true guys, but I believe that Corksport strut bars should be a little better quality than Ractive.
