A friend Jaime has one and it seems decent. Can't beat the price. I would have bought one recently (to go over my Tein Flex and EDFC) but they weren't available on eBay. Had to pay a fortune for an RMM one instead.

Try to find an used original JDM Aristo TT strut brace. These will fit and will be much cheaper.

you guys should take caution when buying no name stuff like that , i have read stories of bars like these snapping under pressure , remember what they were designed to accomplish which was to absord the stress between the towers , trd , cusco , rmm,toms etc etc all use special metals (alloys) more like aircraft grade to withstand the stress , who knows what these guys are using and could you imagine in a corner at high speed and it snaps , metal flying under your hood , hits the rad fan ,jams it
i might be talking crapola , but for me certain things i dont skimp on , just my .0000002 cents bros

anywho, fwiw, i recently posted about my plans for future modding, and everyone basically said that only the RMM (and not the TRD, for example) would permit the edfc in place. if ya think about it, the edfc motors have to fit right on top of the strut tower. so if you want a strut tower bar, you have to find one that mounts in a way such that it encircles the area around the strut tower, thus enabling space in which to fit the edfc motors.
the explanation is something along these lines, but i'm a new guy, so maybe some details/terms aren't exactly accurate, but i think the basic gist of what i'm saying is accurate
EDIT:
wait a minute, i think i just answered a question that no one asked.....sorry, been a workaholic lately, lots o' stress and too tired to think coherently
