FSTB installed......

I know probably half of you already have a front strut bar....but here's my update....

First I got 17"wheels with235/45 tires, then lowered the car with H@R's. The car handled great, but in hard cornering the tires would still really howl...front end would plow and the car still leaned quite a bit(Struts would probably help)

Anyhow...with the fstb installed...when cornering hard the front end sits alot flatter, the car feels more stable and planted on the road, and the anoyying tire howl is gone at most speeds! When it's dry, I drive pretty fast on my early morning drives home and haven't been able to push the car hard enough to get the tires howling in corners!(Must drive faster!!!) Seriously tho...I'm pretty amazed at how well the car handles, as is my brother-in-law with a 97 integra who I scared the crap out of when I took him for a drive the other night, he was pretty shocked.

Only thing I've noticed is a slight rattle when the a/c is on which I'm assuming is from the fstb resting on the a/c line.

It's a generic one I got from Street beat.com

Took me 3 months to get.
Looking at pics of the Courtesy one,I think it's a little bit different.
