Companies buy these items in bulk from the same spot, sell them under a name for X amount of dollars more...example
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...item5ad09052d7
90 bucks...
At top speed auto for 140 plus
http://www.topspeedauto.com/ProductC...idproduct=2613
examt same product

Now i would agree with this about say 80-95%. You get more pricy items because everyone thats its bought thru gets their upsell price and in some cases offers you a warranty.
Some go and gets their name plate/logo/icon on the product. But i think when the welds breaks and causes a rattle on either one of those pipes. You MIGHT have better luck getting a replacement thru topspeed VS random ebay person. Some of the more popular/better name guys who would carry a similiar product might cost a little more they normally offer a LITTLE better service. Mainly HID and Megan racing items. They items are stolen from one of the bigger guy and replicated.

stillen may be a bit different but the nrg and gtspec bar you mentioned earlier are definitely the same as the ebay variant...i held one in my hand and it was so light i knew it would do nothing lol, went circuit sports...forgot to put that mod in my sig lol

yeah i actually just looked at the ebay ones and it looks exactly like my NRG but i got it for $100 shipped so i don't care. lol and i am researching sway now. trying to see where the 05 sedan stands for stiffness % in the front to see if i should get the adjustables or just some single holes

My low beam just went out. I'm thinking of replacing it with a 6000k bulb that I found online for $30/ pair. Will I regret it? Here is the link:

If these aren't good, can anyone recommend a pair?

I just realized why you were asking for these
I may need to pick some up myself as well

Stillen used to make everything in house. They did the R&D and made it, this was in the early -mid 90's AFAIK. Now they just aren't doing all the little things anymore, they are outsourcing/rebadging things as well. They are more focused on $$$ items. So small things like HFC they might be stillen but they are made by Kintex. They do happen to be a little more picky when it comes to who they want to make things. I would believe they are better then generic ebay stuff, but really its a strut bar, little to no feel. The item cost maybe $5-20 for nissan to mass produce it, it came on the 350z, should bolt up to our cars so they didn't have to do ANYTHING other then order more. But they didn't, maybe because the cost didn't reflect the gains, IF ANY. Aim for sway bars if you want something similiar with a higher chance of making a difference.
