Strut bar combos on ebay
 
Is there really any down side to getting a cheap combo set on eBay? Bc there are front strut tower bar rear upper strut bar and lower tie bar for like 50 bucks.

How is fitment?

ebay fitment normally sucks. But every now and again you can find good stuff. For 50bux I'm gonna assume they use crappie metal. Prob. more of a soft metal. Prob. be good for a year but you will see some bending that will happen. Just really depends on what they are made out of. Also make sure you get adjustable if you are going with cheap alternatives. So when they do start to bend and or warp you can adjust to keep your accord front and rear stiff. Since you have a 95 you have read disk brakes right? If not then you have to do some mod-ing to make the rear swap bar fit. There is no place to bolt the support brackets on the bottom of the car.

Yeah I got the EX model with sway bars and rear disc brakes. I guess I will spend the extra buy some good bars then. Any suggestions?

I have the cheap bars, they are ok. They do fit well but they will bend over time. To me its honestly not worth it for the $100 or more per bar for the name brand ones.

I hate to say it but I have heard good things about Megan racing strut and sway bars. I hate the brand...but when credit its due I will give it. I don't like this brand but I have found that they are a good price and not bad quality
