Ok here is my take...Any strut bar is better than no strut bar. Now that being said I am not a fan of the bolt together design. One you do not have to accurate in your design, because it is sloppy by design. Two the adjustment points allow the bar to move, no matter how tight you torque it down.
I have always been a fan of the solid design, that is how I build all my bars. My bars are not cheep, but they are affordable compared to Carbing or ARC. I think if you go with a solid design you will get more out of it, but if it is not in you budget like I said earlier any bar is better than none.

We ended up with all the cold air intake kits and are now offering them to you at a super deal. ALL these strut tower bars feature billet aluminum construction, stainless steel hardware, and either steel (which is powder coated) or billet aluminum mounts. This is a limited time offer on these super high quality strur bars, when we run out of inventory you will never see these prices or intakes again. These intakes normally retailed for $125+ !


These is not the average Chinese manufactured strut bar you see on eBay, these strut bars were designed by FALKEN engineers to the highest quality standards possible. Most other strut bars you see on eBay were made in China using the cheapest materials possible. These Chinese strut bars will flex like crazy and will not stiffen the chassis as they should, all they can do is look nice. All FALKEN strut bars WILL STIFFEN THE FRONT CHASSIS STRUCTURE, not just look nice. Because of the advanced design, materials and construction, Falken strut bars will increase the cornering potential of your ride better than any other strut bar on the market.


LOL Wow Im sold on that note

Ebay junk. As Jonnie Fraz stated, a strut bar is better than no strut bar, but solid is best.

Next time, search. Falken does NOT produce any suspension parts.

The description quoted above alone should have been a huge red flag.
