Front Strut Bar
#3
FSTB is a FSTB. I have an ebay special and it works (almost) as good as a more expensive one. I think Stillen should be excluded from that list though... You don't really feel much of a difference with a RSTB unless you are a hard core cornerer.

I think it was mostly in your head. I got my bar and I can say that my steering seems a tad more responsive in tight corners and maybe there's a little more effort but nothing immediately noticeable.

I must say, so far I have felt very minor results with RSTB, but felt fairly modest results with the FSTB. I can't wait to get an RSB. And granted you get what you pay for...

I've heard Stillen is the best FSTB because it allows you to actually preload your front suspension. That's just going on "hear->say" though. but I think it's cattman who sells a combo of FSTB and RSB which are a decent combination upgrade to your suspension.

its like this, when you do something, do it right the first time. the ones on e-bay for 20 bucks are basically useless. its useless because the joints aren't strong enough to make a difference in turning ability. the bolts will most likely move when the strut bar is in need of use. i mean 20 bucks is 20 bucks. i'd rather get a used one from someone knowing that it will perform a lot better. rusty bolts aren't really anything if you got some wd-40 and a torque bar. Hence, i'm still trying to get one that doesn't use bolts but welded straight across like my bro has on his rsx. i personally think that putting a cheap mod into the suspension is asking for trouble. You might probably think that you CAN turn faster and take a turn too fast for your own good since you THINK
you do have a mod.
you do have a mod.
