Fsb

Can anyone recommend a good FSB (front sway bar)? Thanks.

ST makes a good FSB, RSB combo.

You can get them at shox.com and I think Cattman.com as well.

As far as I know, ST makes the ONLY FSB for our car...

btw, why do you want a front bar? Most people ask for a rear bar first to improve stiffness and reduce understeer. If you get a front bar only, the suspension will be stiffer but I imagine it would understeer like nuts.

That is, unless you were looking for something to compliment your Addco rear bar?

FYI:
Susp. Tech front = 1 1/4" , rear = 3/4"
Addco rear (only) = 7/8"

according to their websites.

I am getting a Stillen RSB from a friend plus my 92SE came stock with a RSB, I just want to improve my handling so I thought why not try a FSB. I can't wait till WSP puts those sub-frame connectors on the market. Anyone here have a RSB and FSB combo?

Okay, as long as you're getting a aftermarket RSB, since the stock RSB is noodle-thin by comparison. And if you were to add a heavier Front SB to that, the suspension might seem stiffer, but the car will understeer badly (maybe worse than stock?). That's why people usually get a whole Susp. Tech kit or just the Addco rear bar. Getting a ST front with your Stillen rear sounds like a good idea.

I believe Matt has the ST kit (front & rear), as well as a few others. If you're wondering if it improves handling, yes apparently it makes a world of difference (even with just the Addco rear). If you're wondering if it makes the ride harsher, I think I was told "yes, but it's not that bad" (sic) So you see, I've been asking some questions of my own too!
