I know someone has these...

i have stage 1...prolly gonna upgrade to stage 2 next yr...it tightens up the front nicely

 

Thats good. Ill probably get stage 1 and stick with it i dont want anything to extreme. Do you have a FSTB? If so how is the handling with both of them?

B

 

Id like to see some shot of these on the car ?

ill take some pics for ya....i do have FSTB...and RSB i find the handling to be great

 

So i guess from the few responses its a good mod to have?

I had it on my car. Its a great mod for the money, really stiffens up the front end and makes it more responsive, but it hangs low and you loose ground clearence.

The reason its no longe ron my car is because I bottomed out and the bar got pushed up and pulled back and it tweaked my lower control arms. Its a great mod, but it really shouldnt be used on the street, or if you do run it on the street...BE CAREFUL!!!

I totally disagree with this remark. One would have to drive like a cowboy and hit all ruts and fly over speed bumps to bend these bars. I ought to know since they've been on my car for a long time!!

 

About how much ground clearance would you say you lose??

 

I was taking a left turn at night going about 15mph and hit a trench that I did not see. You dont need to be driving like a maniac to screw this bar up, especially if your car sits low already. It was my fault for using this bar in a city with such horrible roads.

The bar itself is 3/4" thick and it sits about 1/2-3/4" below the crossmember.

 

i was lowered on s-techs last year and never bottomed out on it....i am on Progress which raises me up a little....overall u lose about an 1 - 1.5

 

Ill be running Ksports with about an 1.5" drop in the front. Does anyone think i will run into problems with this. I will raise the car if i need to.

Look, this was bad luck for you but by saying "Its a great mod, but it really shouldnt be used on the street, or if you do run it on the street...BE CAREFUL!!!" you are messing around with Matt's business of developing and selling hard or impossible to find quality parts for our cars!
As I said, it was just your bad luck hitting the rut in the street it sure isn't Matts' fault. How many millions of times do drivers damage their cars on crummy streets? You don't see them saying don't buy this or that because it may get damaged. I hope you see my point!!
