is this strut bar any good

It looks pretty cool imo to be only 30 bucks.

Meh. Get a second generation TL/CL strut bar for about the same price and polish it.

Not a good idea, since they're steel it will begin to develop surface rust. I bought one that was previously polished and it was hellarusty.

no, that bar is crap.

you're not going to feel much of anything from any strut bar. a one piece bar has a lot more use potential than one with separate base plates any day of the week though. the oem tl bar is so cheap, you'd have to be dumb to not buy it if you're looking for a strut bar. strut bars help, but not as much as people usually make them out to. you're not going to be taking corners like an f1 car because your front strut towers are connected.

This.

Good price for the bar. Enjoy.

It's helpful for spirited driving(cornering), just know your cars' limits.

I've been able to take corners doing about 60km with the Neuspeed/TL strut bar upgrade. We'll see how it does with the Cusco bar instead of the Neuspeed one.

I would disagree. I had a cheapo ebay one on my talon and that didn't do anything. My Eibach bar on my accord actually feels different. When I first got it, it stiffened up the front and actually increased understeer. I added a TL sway bar and it was back to stock like, but stiffer/better handling.

Not saying that it was night and day but I did feel a difference. My front end feels a bit looser when I take it off as well. It's considerably beefier than most though.
