I have found a pretty big price discrepancy between the OEM bar at FCP euro for $65 and the Viva Ultra Racing brace for $155.00. I have read the OEM bar is a light tube and the aftermarket braces are flatter and beefier to resist twisting. I am not planning on lowering the car or changing the stock struts. I am looking to reduce cowl shake. So do I need to spend the extra or will the OEM be good enough?

Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks.
