DC STB will be the cheapest around 100 bucks I think but for a few bucks more u can get the MRZ around 130 -170 which is much thicker, however the DC bar is welded together where as the MRZ you have to screw which allows for possible flex

welcome to the baords, where in jerz u from

yeah Dc bar is probably cheapest, but IMO the MRZ looks a million times better

Ark has a strut bar for sale but its virtually pointless to get a strut bar because our towers are so close to the firewall....but if you want one Ark has a salle goin on they only come in Red/orange tho

read the GM build book or even the 2.0 ecotec LSJ build cd has it on it...i never said it fully did the job i just said it was virtually pointless...for the minimal amount that it does flex i'd encourage to either go springs or a rear sway bar for the price...its not cash effective
