I know lots of you guys have them, how much are these things ?Also, most of the searchs I do point me to a website that DOES NOT ship to Canada. Anyone know of one that does ?Maybe I should just go through a dealership.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItemI just installed a DC Sports strut bar on my '06. I doesn't do much for the handling since the Vibe's shock towers are so close to the firewall anyways, but it looks sweet.

I have a vibrant one, im looking to sell it to get a TRD one. but i felt a slight difference in handling when going into my drive way or when turning really tight. The TRD ones are like $140 new, but the others on ebay etc. are like $30-50.

Go with the DC sports one. Cheaper than TRD and looks better.

I found the DC one for $125 and the TRD for $125. I like the TRD one because it goes behind the engine cover. But dont get me wrong the DC one is big, stiff and nice looking.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem I bought mine from this guy. $76.00 plus $30.00 shipping. I got a discount on the shipping because I bought the header too.
