It's crap. I have one similar to that collecting dust in my backyard. You can have it for free but it's not worth it. You want something fixed with no swivels.

It's for a 3G eclipse (00-05), and it's a bolt - on that attaches to all 3 bolts.

Before I buy, I want to make sure it's okay. I'm just a little wary that this improvement could cost so little...
And just to make sure, I simply remove the nuts from the strut towers, put the brace on, and put the nuts back on, correct?
If I missed something, I apologize in advance. I've been searching for/reading what I can for the past few weeks before getting ready to make a move on a strut brace of my own.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for the heads-up.

Anytime. get a DC one, they are about 110 and you have to get it for the 3G, 2000 to 2005 eclipse, or a stock eclipse one that comes on the V6 Eclipse.
From what I've read, I didn't think the DC's were that much better than the 3G eclipse ones for the price difference...
Do the 3G bars even have a non-swivel version?
Sooner!
Also, is this the one you're referring to?

This is a stock V6 3G one that I had.
This is a DC one
This one was the nicest one made by Carbing but cost me 300
That's what the DC bar looks like, the ebay listing you posted looks correct.

Dammit Ray, I was posting @ the same time, you beat me to it

Lol, thanks for all the pictures. I'm not seeing any of the solid 3G eclipse ones on ebay. I may just go with the DC bar (I can afford it, I'll just get to listen to my parents whine about it for a while :P)
Are there any for sale on the forums right now? I'm about 5 posts away from being able to look in the commerce section. :(
Hey, nvm, I just moved from n00b to member. Schweetness...
*Edit: Sadness, I'm still not allowed to view that forum...

You can post a wanted post for that 3G stock bar or Pm Rez. He's in Dallas and can usually get one for 50 shipped and you have it in one day. I did.
I may go with the DC since it looks a lot cooler when the hood's up :P.
Since we're on the subject (sort of), where's the best place to go (or who can I go through) to get myself a set of coilovers and a rear sway bar? I'm going to sink my budget into suspension this spring, and I want to try and get my ducks in a row.
Also, can I get a better deal through someone here on the DC bar? (better than the ebay link I posted)

Addco makes a sway bar, as does ST, I believe RRM also makes one for our platform, try our vendors on here, they have very reasonable pricing, same with the coilovers, go through our vendors!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I still don't have permission to access that section of the forum.
The rules say 45 days, but I'm reading 1 year in the forum assistance threads. Can I get an admin to help me out?

I had ADDCO and was a great rear sway bar upgrade. Megan coil overs will run you about $900.
Just PM importcarpartsplus and they'll give you a quote

I'm on megans right now, as are quite a few other members, the rest are split amongst D2, K-sport, and Tein, they are all about the same unless you get the Tein SS-P which you can use EDFC with. I have the ST rear sway bar right now, buy the sway bar first, one of the best upgrades I ever did on my car.

This is where I got my dc bar from.

Thanks a ton for the help, guys. Considering I knew nothing about cars a year ago, you've made this stuff a lot less daunting.
