Megan told me all the multicolor skeletonized bars on eBay with their name are NOT for the 8G Galant OR 3G Eclipse. I showed them the mystery brand one I had and they said it was theres. The Megan 8G Galant bar is just that. A bar. I suggest getting the stock 3G bar if you aren't looking to drop a few hundred. If you ARE, check out the 3G Eclipse Spyder application of Carbing's type I strutbar with master brake cylinder stopper.

if u have an i4 get the DCsports STB (i don't think they have released the v6 version yet). NELSON has it and it is a double bar design and looks rock solid. it is a 1 piece design (which is superior to the adjustable ones and the multi-piece ones). i have an RRE 1-piece bar but it was a limited edition and i don't thnik they ever made any more than 5-10 (and they are all gone).

DC bar:

RRE bar (very old pic of my car):

the RRE one is function over form... it's not that cool looking; but the real problem is finding one, they were only made in a super limited supply (maybe 10 total). i don't think there are any left that are not installed.

we don't know if it does for sure yet... i don't think anybody tried it on the v6. it might have clearance issues w/ the intake plenum.

yea i know. its just that goosey said the DC was the best. then i remembered the RRE. i tried looking for 1 when i was going to buy the strut bar but got tired of looking so i bought the 3G bar...

Yup. They swore to me that the one I show is theirs and that the one you show is either one of theirs for another car or if it DOES fit, it's not theirs but made to look like it is. Either way the Megan tech I had on the phone said the one in your picture is not the one they make for our car and they can't speak to its quality. Furthermore they were happy with me for telling them about all the people on eBay claiming those as 8G G or 3G E bars. They apparently draw special pleasure from crushing such folks.
