    Sparco or Eibach?

    I am looking for a nice strut bar for my 89 325i. I have come across an Eibach strut bar and a Sparco strut bar. I personally feel the Sparco will perform better due to its one piece design. But Eibach makes great stuff too. I am stuck between the two. Help me decide? :D

    once peice/two peice really should make no difference. read this. people misunderstand what they do. in any case, either bar is proably nice. go for whichever you like better/is cheaper/you can get.

        There's a GB going on somewhere for the Sparco bar; $100. Ask Bryson for more info.

          Sparco is cheaper and cooler looking.

              IE's bar is the same as the Sparco bar. I would go with the sparco bar as I have never had good service from IE.

                  Well, I just got a Sparco installed today, $110 from the local German repair shop, and then I got a 10% CCA discount, AND the guy installed it for free.
                  I felt so happy I even stuck the Sparco decal on that bright red strutbar like a true ricer.

                  So far, the car feels slightly stiffer when driving on any kind of road. It just makes the car feel a bit newer. Well, at least it should stop any strut tower bending as the car ages...
