Heard that the front strut bar actually doesn't really help all that much so that wouldn't be that bad of a buy. Just afraid that it might snap like where the mounts are caues yeah they do look really thin lol

I looked through the seller's reviews, and it looks like he has sold alot of them in the past month and all the reviews are good (probably not enough time for them to break lol). Its an ebay off brand bar with what looks like a 14 day warranty, so if you buy it I would probably expect the same quality as one you would get from autozone. Probably won't break you hood or strut towers though.

Great price.

Looks like a knock off of the NRG bar, I wouldn't trust it based on the price, seems too cheap IMO.

I have a 5/16 spacer. It fits fine haha. It should fit fine with a 1/2 too. Plenty of space and doesn't hit the hood.

Just noticed this thread. I have this bar. Fit is fine and it WILL not break. Brackets are really heavy gauge steel.
Get it while the price is below $100.
