My 2c after a few years watching what gets up or dwn reviews and - the vendor's service both before and after sale over the years. The weld quality hasn't look good, and apparently the spray paint used is poor and since it is braced at the back area there, with no lateral piece connecting the two arms....it provides little true 4-pt structural support. You can take your hand and bend and flex that area it attaches to easily, so in essence it is a two point bar with the 'effect' of being a 4 pt bar.

Its major 'benefit' - cheap - nevertheless I'd wait for a current owner of one to chime in - I've only got heresay for ya for whatever it may be worth. Good luck ... and BTW I think good strut bars are excellent mods for the 8....they just cost a bit more.

do a search for the Auto Exe bars and you'll find two models. A single bar, and then one like the one you've posted from Ebay. Look at how the bar bends. I won't attach where the Ebay bar does because of the reasons Spin9k stated.

I would suspect that it would not be a good buy.

And don't only get the front one, the rear likely has a greater positive effect on the car's handling....the back end was what needed the most reinforcement to meet handling design goals during development.
