shock tower strut

So I'm cruising on ebay and come across a tower support:

Think it's worth it?

You should notice a marked improvement especially under harder corners

How about cost wise? I know you get what you pay for and with ebay the pricing is so all over on the same type items it makes you wonder.

i would look at it as its only 45 bucks for something that you typically expect to pay 100+ for. It "looks" to be decently made.

a shock tower strut eh? hmm thast an odd name to call it.

first its called a strut brace. and that looks pretty cheap imo. there are much better quality ones out there.

Yea I'd go elsewhere. Protege Garage has a couple nice ones. If your not looking to spend much, Vibrant makes one for $70. The others are $170 and up.

I was informed that Vibrant does NOT make their strut tower bar anymore, but it was a quality piece. If you can find someone selling a used Vibrant, thats probably your best bet.

You are correct in saying that Vibrant does not make their strut tower anymore. I was frantically searching for one a few months ago and couldn't find one. I went to Vibrant's website and asked why they stopped making their strut tower brace bars and that I REALLY wanted one and couldn't find one anywhere. Their director of internet sales (Dean Griffith, I believe) wrote me back and said they were looking to further their company in areas that didn't include manufacturing strut tower brace bars. He said that they still had a couple left and offered me one for $35 (!) plus shipping. You could try the same thing and see if they still have any laying around. Probably not but it might be worth a try! Just a suggestion... Good luck!
