but when it bends, doesn't it effect the performance? or does the bending not matter?

bending does effect the performance, instead of helping your handling, it bends. but like i said, i beat mine pretty hard in the corners, so if you dont a ebay one will be fine.

Turning sharp alone wouldn't do it. Now if you go into a 90 degree corner at 75 MPH and wait till the last second then throw the wheel around and "lunge" into the corner that's a lot of stress and will bend it. If you drive like your average person or even slightly faster you should be fine.

Lol, that someone 19Accord97 is referring to is me.

The eBay Strut Tower Brace/bar is holding up beautifully. I even installed it wrong and the bar and its brackets did not bend (did not jack the car up to install the first time). I can take pictures tomorrow if you wanna see it. It's Carbon Fiber Design.

Yeah, 03sleeper, I was just curious, do you know what seller you bought yours from? Mine just came today, but it doesn't look quite good as yours did if I recall correctly. O well, I'm excited just the same!
