hey guys, wondering if anyone has bought any struts from Ebay. The ones from the US made from "light weight aluminum".

i heard that some of these items are crap, as in you can bend it with your bare hands.

yes, they are crap, i highly suggest you to buy a brand name one ,like kyb or tokico,koni, first two are not that expensive, it will just give you a peace of mind,ebay one might be ok for a while then break down, then you have to buy another one get install ,why bother,should just do right at first time ,never regret, my Gfriend got me tokico from US,: )

this is a perfect example of what sinister is posted up in the lounge about BS comments,, if u dont know shid dont post, and don discourage someone in buying something just cause u payed alot more and got the same thing, why would u have problems fitting a ebay one and no problem fitting ones u buy from elsewhere?
just depends on the shape of the strut. my mate has ebay struts and its worked fine for him for a year now with no probs...

Good. Bare in mind I paid $50 for this bar. It is not going to bend inside the car.
