Default Stillen, Crawford, or APS Strut Tower Bar?

I currently am in need of a front mounted strut tower due to taller plenum.

All three are the same price mostly; what are the advantages/disadvantages b/t them?

The all seem to be made out of steel and do the same thing. Any experience?

Any easier harder to install?

Thanks

they are all super easy to install.

APS parts are impossible to find

Crawford stopped making theirs - they will offer to make you a one off with a few weeks wait ..

so I picked stillen.

I could have tried some of the flat-style ones like NRG, Cusco, gt-spec etc ... but I didn't wanna risk it not working and end up ordering another one anyways..

the stillen one looks the best out of the three imo, I've seen crawford and aps ones look fairly rusted after being used for a while.

How did that ever go for you? I added a Skunk2 V2 plenum spacer and the stock one had to go. Still looking at replacing it. Defin. has to go in front of engine to fit.

Talked to Crawford they will make one, but they don't color them anymore like the red one displayed on their website. Sorry don't feel like having a shitty looking pos steel rod in my engine bay.
