FSB questions
#1
The next thing I'm gonna do is get one of these. Is a FSB the same as an FSTB or is the TOW only for the back end? I don't know much about these things obviously. Where can I get the cheapest one of the net that actually works good? Keep in mind that I don't really need a good one b/c I don't have many mods on my car yet...I'm just broke and want to get one because I'm sick of my car feeling like an airplane rolling into a turn. Thanks for the help guys

FSB is "front sway bar" and FSTB is "front strut tower brace". Your car already has a FSB. I have heard you can get FSTB's on Ebay for around $35. IMHO, I don't think it does much. I think the best, first handling mod is an Addco RSB. Check with Cattman, but I think they are arond $125 and that includes urethane bushings.

I got FSTB (front strut tower brace) from Street-beat.com for $35, plus $10 shipping. It's inexpensive and does what it's intended for. It probably doen't offer as much as the RSB but you don't need to drive very aggressively in order to feel the difference. My next mod will be the RSB.
For low cost handling mod, go with FSTB. I went with H&R before FSTB since I had a little more to spend.

just bought mine today at street-beat. $ 45.00 altogether, i should have it next week, while i was on the spending mood, i also bought clear bumper lenses and a spoiler at autodynamic.com, also should be in next week. hopefully they'll look good, i have to paint the spoiler first.

OK, here's the big question: How effective will the FSTB be in reducing body roll? Can anyone please be specific on how much it helps? I am ready to order one and just wanna make sure I shouldn't get something else instead. Thanks

The FSTB will do nothing for body roll, it will reduce yaw. If you want to reduce body roll, get an RSB. Stillen and Addco perform about the same, but Stillen's is prettier, and more expensive.
To reduce roll a little more, replace the rubber FSB bushings with Energy Suspension's urethane bushings; Courtesy Nissan has them.
