I noticed with stock springs that my cornering felt more stiffer and didnt lean as much as it used to. Now its lowered, I dont know how much it helps since I never took it off to test.

Honestly, mine seemed to help so much with cornering. It just seems so easy to take corners fast since I put it on. Im happy with it.

If you are a high way driver, you will defiantly feel a better handling.

FSTB eliminates the flex action that the front of the car goes through when it turns a corner.

Night and day difference. Takes corners better, rides more true, and I even think it took some play out of the steering. Best $30 I've ever spent.

It definitely helps a lot. Your not going to be able to go around corners twice as fast or anything like that but I could definitely tell a pretty big difference. For $30 its definitely worth not to mention easy to install

I just installed one this past weekend. Overall the front end seemed tighter when initiating turns, especially in quick turns. Not sure how it'll handle on the highway as I haven't had a chance to test that out yet. Hmm, maybe a trip to Whistler and back will do the trick...

For those who got fstb on, do you feel a little wobbling at around 80mph?
