Or is it normal to not feel a huge difference, cuz when i dropped my car, there was a whole lotta difference but with the strut bar i can't feel a big difference. Can someone post some pics of their own fstb installed so that i may see if I did install them correctly. Thanks in advance.
You did everything right. You won't feel a difference with the FSTB. People argue they can feel a difference all the time but I think it's a case of the King's clothing. It's just a 'feel good', 'sleep better at night' mod. You won't feel the difference.
There really shouldnt be an extreme difference from this anyways. FSTB primarily cause more understear, which is already plenty enough in fwd cars anyhow. I think they should be purchased only when there is more oversteer and you need to balance out the handling of the car. SO go get an rsb.

RASB, not rsb. ANTI-Sway.

I know this is all getting repeatative, but you do not have to torque it to specs. I prefer to torque to specs. I just think that its better to be safe, than sorry.....
Also, yes, you will see improvements in corners.
Like the bar....where did you get it again??
costs??

Well everyone's saying to get a Rear Anti Sway Bar, but Maximus95 here on the org told me that BrianV (also on the org) got one and it messed up his break line. After getting the RSB, his brakes wouldn't work sometimes (randomly) and so he just took it off. Has anyone else have or ever had this problem with the RSB's before?
the brake issue is only if u didn't install the rsb correctly.
Do yourself a favor and disconnect the brake line bracket before installing the rsb...when you're done, reinstall the brake line bracket.
