For $5 you're expecting quality???

I wouldn't expect these to functional at all. They're going to be for looks only...probably stamped tin or plastic or something. ;)

OH you didn't know
WOW....... :eek:

You try to find a great deal on something to help someone who may be looking for it, and all you get is people ******' and moanin'. These bars were $40-$60 at one time....this particular vendor is not selling suspension parts anymore, that's why the are selling them so cheap. I did install one of these on the rear of my SHO and it made a POSITIVE difference in handling.

If your not looking for a decent strut bar at a good price, MOVE ALONG, if you are, then post questions if you have them.

Probably this, probably that...blah,blah,blah.............

In general, one expects to get what one pays for. I wouldn't have high expectations for a $5 brace.

Either they're not worth much, or the seller is a very poor business person.

I wasn't trying to be negative, was actually hoping the best for you, still am ;) I have seen strut bars go for over 125.00ish, I know I saw a couple on ebay for that with alot left on the ticker...seeing the amount you would be paying does bring out the skeptic in me... I have learned the hard way toooo many times deals are "most of the time" not the best deal. I am glad you have had good experience with them. I was thinking in my head that each one of the spherical bearings would be around $10.00-$15.00 alone. Oh well, like I said, when they come in let us know how they work for you:salute:

If money's the issue, I have a $25 Ebay bar, but would it changed your mind if it's the same bar that Bittersweet sells for $125?

These STB are fine for the front, our cars don't need a FSTB anyway, and I'm sure they'll improve things at least a little in the back as well.

After installing these, the car feels a lot more stable. Since I have the Intrax/KYB combo, the "pogo" effect is minimized as well. For a total of $20 for front and rear bars.....I can't complain.

Which ones are they exactly? I see more then one option. Are they a direct fit or do you need to tweak them a bit? GREAT find though. I REALLY want a pair and have been looking for some for a while lately but just couldn't afford them. :cool:

half-way there, I think.
Just picked up my STB from Sieger today. I have to say for $5.00 it's a great deal. It is a nice piece, not as stout as say the ShoShop bar but it will get the job done. Thanks Sieger :thumb:
