It seems some of the China/JDM/Taiwan made bars have become over the top these seem more reasonable, after all it's a piece of metal in the end:

prices look pretty on par with stuff you'd find on ebay, only the ebay ones tend to look a lot nicer (such as the ultra racing brand for one). Maybe i'm nitpicking but i really don't' like the logo font, especially as a sticker on those interior pieces. The vibe i get from the site and the pictures of the product is like a kid made these in a garage, opened up powerpoint, printed some stickers with a 'ghoulish' font, and slapped them on.

also put off by the disclaimer on the contact page
-No warranty expressed or implied
-All sales are final

at least with ebay there's usually some kind of return policy and/or warranty
quick ebay search for example http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-RACING-1-PIECE-SOLID-FRONT-RIGID-STRUT-TOWER-BAR-BRACE-05-09-MAZDA-MAZDA3-/171206259952?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27dcb034f0&vxp=mtr


Note: i'm not for or against Ultra racing, just picked them as it was one of the first results. But if i was going to pick up any braces i'd probably look for similar on there, because like you said, at the end of the day it's a piece of metal.

The RHO's are the same price http://www.rhoplate.com/Products-Mazda.html. I like it because of how you adjustable it is, but it'd be interesting to see how this one is. Any idea on how long it'll be to ship?
