I wouldn't buy it. The question is, is that really necessary?

Do you realize that this will be visible inside your car? And yes, it is too ricey.

A friend of mine put one in his MK3 golf. He said it was one of the best things he's ever done

tightened up the rear end alot, and helped neutralize the handling loads

hrm???, combine that with a rear anti-sway bar, and it might clean up the stock suspension!

Some people put them in their 240SX's a while back and it really helped with chassis stiffness. Yes

it is visible and I really don't like that, but it might help. The thing to keep in mind however, is that the B5 chassis is pretty stout so who know's how much good it would do.
