Are those Cheap Ebay Grounding Kits + Stabilizers any good?

Do they even do anything for your car?

I am tempted to buy them but at the same time I am a litle worried they are useless.

Also what about those pink strut bars that are on Ebay as well?

i kno the strut bars with under brace work but i wouldnt go for ne electronic stuff from ebay there are 2 many scams involved with them

o and if u come across a "chip" on ebay for our cars and its not a name brand its fake its just a 1ohm resistor

 

Yeah I know about the chip...

But I wasnt sure about the others.

Do you think the 2 bars and the brace will make a difference on my 2002 2.5rs though? I mean oviously it would look nice, but I could care less about that.

 

Strut braces only make a difference if you are driving hard enough to actually make them have an effect. If you are indeed pulling 1+g on the skidpad and driving hard enough to twist the suspension of your car, thus necessitating a strut bar, do you want to have that part fail?

 

Well I live in western pa with alot of mountain roads. I fly though s bends and such barely loosing traction. I mean would that be even worthy?

 

Yes it would, especially for twenty bucks.

 

You missed my point completely. If you're going to push the car that hard, wouldn't you rather have a quality part backing you up, or some cheap knockoff that might be made out of melted coat hangers? It makes about as much sense as getting new wheels but going cheap on $45 Chinese tires.

 

Oh I get you now... should have just said it

Anyways, I mean they look sturdy and they are mass produced by some company oviously. I have never seen or heard of them cracking and such either.

Maybe I will get them.

My thing is... I can but these for $45 shipped, or get ONLY a front cusco bar for over $150 shipped.

 

If you do that, your a fool. I have both sti replica bars and they work fine, no cracks or bends or anything. Why would you pay 150 dollars for one when u can get two for way cheaper that do the exact same thing?

 

Yeah... thats what I figured. I mean a bar is a bar.

Of course if its better made like the cusco you will get more support out of it... but I am not rich and I am not racing on the tracks, so what the hell.

 

You get what you pay for, and ofcourse being on a budget really makes you think about what you pay for so I feel for you, If they sells have good feedback for those kinda parts then they are prob ok, but on the other hand if you want to open your hood and brag then having something with a name on it doesn't hurt.
My only other thought is since you have a slightly older model, that the less expensive ebay parts are prob alot more realiable then a cheap one quickly dumped on the market for a new model.

 

I may just get them... I mean it wont hurt anything, and most people are too damn stupid to know what a good bar look like anyways lol.

 

strab bars are nice I bought them just only front and rear though, fits perfect I painted it blue coz I got a blue car
