Is there any steering and handling difference between strut bar made out of different type of metals and shapes? A normal strut bar for the Versa sell around +50 dollars while some other sell over +110 dollar.

the different metals may vary in weight.
the different shapes may function differently for stiffness. I would be skeptical that most V owners (short of anyone running SCCA or on a track) need the high dollar ones for better function. They all will stiffen the strut towers and most wouldn't notice a difference between the low over the high dollars. your wallet would notice it most.

I would go for an established brand just to know other owners have it and don't have problems with it. That in itself is worth the price difference between brands like DC Sports and Micro Image VS no name e bay brands...
