It makes a difference but nowhere near as substantial as a new set of tires, lowering springs or tighter shocks/struts. I put mine on because it was a cheap way of improving the handling of my car, regardless of how much it improved.

If you thought the FSTB made a difference... put in a rear sway bar... you'll have to re-learn how to drive the car as it will handle much differently. For the better of course.

I got mine from custom enterprises. It's a solid piece of aluminum...not hollow like some of the others I've seen. 80 or 90 buck, if I remember correctly. I did all of my suspension mods with the brace so I couldn't say if the brace alone made a significant improvement.
