The ebay bars do work but their effects are so little that it hardly noticeable. What you want is 1 piece bar if possible or a bar with an adjustment nut in the center of it to adjust the tension. Another version of a strut bar would be in a triangular pattern which attaches to the 2 struts then the fire wall but this is a rare piece. Save your money for a good cusco piece or an octotat piece. Do waste your time with ebay unless your car is just a show car.

Reason: Even though I said this 90 percent of members will still buy the ebay bar hahaha
look for strutbars of whiteline, got 1 in the front and ordered 1 for the back.
the are worth there money!
If you're going to do that, I'd deal with Whiteline directly. Dealing with scammers on eBay US is bad enough, IDK what would happen or if I have the same rights buying off AUS eBay from another country.
B13 front strut tower brace, allow, 1991-93
$196.82 AU, about $130 USD, pretty reasonable if it meets their usual high quality standards.
Downside:
1) A lot of the time they do not have everything in stock. Some of their catalog parts are no longer made, I've run into that personally looking for Bluebird/U13 chassis braces - out of stock forever.
2) Shipping cost and time - cost is not that bad, but be prepared to wait a month or more if the part is not in stock. A lot of their product is made in batches or made to order (made when someone orders it). Then wait for shipping.
Or, just DIY. Coleman made my FSTB from a piece of rectangular metal stock, bolted to the GC plates. It works great, but the plates are really carrying a lot of the load to stiffen the tower mounts. I don't have a lot of choices for bars that work with my vintage Ground Control Camber plates and the triangulated brace. Spend the money on the GC plates, save money using off the shelf bits for the FSTB, makes sense to me. IIRC the bar came from a pile of discarded stuff. And, it's rattle-can black!
I bought the nismo fstb from gregv and it is a solid bar. only prob is think it is chromed not polished aluminum and scuffs easy, other than that it is great.
