    I know I've said this before, but there is no such thing as an ebay brand. Ebay is an auction site that you or I or Whiteline or J's Racing can sell product through. Selling through ebay in no way affects the quality of a given product.

    Granted, a lot of junk manufacturers sell on ebay but you can't draw any conclusions from that.

    And as for strut bars, on the S2000 they do nothing so the quality of the product is irrelevant.

    Have a look at Whiteline's site. They do IMHO the best Front Lower Brace (I assume that is what you're talking about) and a decent Strut Tower brace. Or check out Muz's site. He sell both. http://www.prestigeautoaccessories.com/shop/

    I have also been looking at a front lower brace however can not decide on the brand.

    What makes you say Whiteline is the best?

    It's lightweight aluminium, doesn't interfere with oil changes, and uses hex bolts with washers to secure it.

    Oh, and it's gold, so will impress roadkill as it smashes their skull.

    Hmm, and it's Aus made and a good price.

    What more could you want?

    lol fair point. Not much more to a brace.

    Will you need a wheel alignment after installing? Reason I ask is when I saw my wheel aligner adjust caster, he played with some bolts that I thought is where the X-Brace bolts up to.

    Not sure I would recommend a strut bar at all as our cars have double wishbone suspension at the front, not macpherson strut.

    So gains (if any) will be minimal.
