Does anyone have one of each on their 4th gen? Are both braces the exact same length, bolt pattern, etc. or is there really a difference. I'd like to get an RSTB but most folks have used FSTB's for sale so I was wondering if they might be the same thing.

RSTB is different than FSTB.
it's shorter.
the brackets are different too..


really tho, the RSTB doesn't do much .. get an Rear Sway Bar... instead

i thought by now, you'd have all the suspension mods for to compliment ur SCed car...

Here's how you can tell. Take out your back seat, and attach a string to the top of the rear strut mount. Then, drive hard and have someone watch the string. If it bends, then a RSTB will help. If it doesn't its a waste of money. If I were Jim, I'd get it just to have it, but since I'm a poor college boy, I have to get what makes the biggest difference.

I have a rsb, fstb & just added the rstb. Actually I bought one of those $35 + $10 shipping fstb from street beat. I fabricated new brackets because they mount different (obviously) and installed it without a problem. If your interested in details, let me know.
