You'll feel the effects of the RSB a lot more than you will with the FSTB.

Although, if you're on a real real real tight budget, a FSTB would be a better investment. Of course, you can always save up for a RSB and then the FSTB later.

only reason i suggested the front is that it is cheaper, so if you are on a budget, you can get it right now. But you will get more out of having the rear bar.

Go rear sway bar. For the feel they give you it is worth the money, FSTB you can pick up later on cheaper in the parts section on here anyhow.

Go for the front first... Because if you continue modding the car, a sub will be purchased and you really cant have a RSB.. Sub over RSB any day..

I agree on the RSB first. I have both, but if I had to do it again the RSB would be my first suspension purchase. To clarify a Rear Sway Bar is under the car; a Rear Strut Tower Brace connects the strut towers in the trunk thereby making it more difficult to fit a sub

Stillen vs. Addco?

stillen one you can adjust how stiff or loose you want it to act but moving it forward or back. with the addco you will not be able to jack the car up by the rear beam.

Get the RSB -- Go with Addco, it's also adjustable and much cheaper then $tillen.

Check E-bay for auctions on that bar, you can usually get a good deal there.

So then it's better to get the Stillen RSB over the ADDCO so that you could still jack your car up if need be. Why would someone want to loose their access to their rear beam? Am I wrong?

Both are nice, but I have been told the RSB is much more noticable. If you're on a budget, the Addco is the way to go...I hear it is just as nice as the Stillen now.
