Alright guys, weight in on this one. I want better handling/cornering outta my Max. Now that I'm lowered and am running on wider tires, what's gonna be the most effective mod for me? Check my cardomain "www" for a full list of my mods. Thanks!

i went with fstb 1st since its cheaper, and easy to install. the improvment is noticeable. when i 1st installed it i drove around our city hall circle which is a pretty wide circle. and normally id have to really pull on the wheel and if i was doing 40 my tires would screech during the turn and the car would feel kinda out of control. now i can do 45-50mph during the turn and the car feels more stable and my tires dont squeal at all. it is a very good mod to have.

my fstb was purchased on ebay for 35 bux shipped. it came brand new in a box which said megan racing, not sure if thats the real brand since it doesnt say so on the box but ill call it megan racing fstb just for simplicity sake.

heres a pic similar to mine from the sellers site, it is red and looks great under the hood. looks like the one custom enterprise sells. looks dont matter performance wise since an 8 dollar brace will do the job too, but i wanted something that stood out. i just found out they had em in gunmetal. i woulda took that instead of red but im happy with it.

i cant say much about rear sway bar since i dont have one, but i hear they are felt more than a fstb as far as improvment. i have my agx and intrax springs waiting so after i install the suspension, im going to get the rear sway and the blemco tie rods installed together. maybe ill even get the warpspeed chasis brace also.

 

just get both at the same time... they are both inexpensive and redily available..

 

i say get them both at the same time as well....but if u cant you will feel the rsb a lot more than the fstb.

 

get fstb first

 

I say, save a little while and get the FST, RST, RSB all at the same time. The strut bars dont take long to do. The swaybar is a little harder cause you need a lift but maybe you can use jack stands if the ground is level.

 

Is it worth getting an adjustable rsb?

 

from what i hear is nope. i was planning on getting the stillen adjustable but i spoke with bigfingham and its is basically pointless....when i think about it how often will u adjust it and what is the point of adjusting it. i am more that happy with my progress rsb and i got it a lot cheaper than the stillen

 

just get both, a fstb is a fstb after all. Get a cheapo one for $30-40.

too bad you missed out on the cattman progress rsb gd. I think it's over now but it's a good sturdy 22mm bar that'll much more noticeably change your handling than a fstb.
