Hell no I'm not running a STB... I learned how pointless they were back in my LT1 days. Well, unless you want to buy a 3 point, then they work... if by "work" you mean crack your windshield.
Anyways, STB serve to true function on our cars. First of all, we don't even really have REAL struts, second of all there is no flex for them to stop.
They are just added clutter to the engine bay and make it more of a PITA to work on

But you gotta take it one step further, mention to use Selsun Blue or Head and Shoulders for the under-ball dandruff.
Back on topic, I empathize with the junky b/c when you buy a part like this, you expect it to be nice looking, or at least not look so cheaply made that the paint flakes off. For example I showed my BMR one, not a flake and the paint has held up for the years I've had, the years the previous owner had it, and multiple bolt ons/off. The only paint missing is under the nut so it's not visible.
It comes down to spending good money and wanting to get quality in return, and not settling for less.
of your STB
