Default Strut Bar opinions?

So these are $30 to $800... Is one guys aluminum mined on Mars? What is the difference between a $30 ebay one and a $700 TRD one? If anyone can educate one of us "non-OG" guys that would be much appreciated.

They all pretty much do the same thing. Some clear the engine cover/EDFC motors/etc., others don't. Some are more fancy. Just get some that have been reviewed and no fitment issues (as strange as that sounds). TEIN and Cusco have been around for a long time, so you can't go wrong with those. TRD is definitely a WOW piece.
