I'm trying to find a decent strut tower bar. I saw that the b13's have a group buy going on for cusco and i was wondering if anyone knows any companys that make them for the b14. I know courtesy nissan does but i duno how well they are. Anyone got any opinions about this or suggestions please let me know. thanks

a strut bar is a strut bar, sometimes the cheaper ones are better than the not so cheap.

i just recently put both the front and rear courtesy strut bars on my car.. not a night and day difference.. but the car did feel more solid.. and i coud take turns with less hassle, so its def. a modd to get!

i would go courtesy nissan unless u have the money for stillen..

i have one left

not the least expensive, but i'd venture to say it's the strongest and most oem looking.

so the courtestys are pretty decent? there not to expensive either so that sounds like a pretty good deal. Does anyone think there are better ones? I saw stillen anyone have this on there car? hows it compare to courtesy?

If you get a front strut bar I would also recommend getting one for the rear. You will feel more of a difference in the back then one for the front.

it basically comes down to this...

some people think that the more $ bars work better.. but most ppl on here would agree that any WELL built strut bar will do the same thing..

if u have the money, go stillen, because they look realllly nice.. if u dont have the money.. go courtesy.. they look alright, and do thier job..

a thing to remember is that strut bars dont play that big of a role... they will make a small difference.. but if u really want a big handling/suspension difference , then you will have to get aftermarket springs/struts or coilovers.

I had the courtesy one, its nice and solid. The car I have now came with a Matrix (ebay?) and it also seems nice and solid, so just get the cheaper one......that is my opinion.

I'm going to put on some Tein basics with the pillow ball mounts later this month. I have a $22 E-bay front strut bar, will it fit?
If not, what is everyone else running of their Tein Basics w/ pillow mounts (front and rear strut bars)?

i have the tein basics with the pillow bal mounts. and i have the ebay fstb....fits fine. not the prettiest looking bar. but i guess it works. i'm looking to get the cusco bar. looks alot better and it's way more sturdier
