did a RSB or FSB help u?
I know this has probably been asked before.. but since i'm impulsive and am considering purchasing a RSB and FSB, I was wondering if either of these mods will help to reduce steering wheel vibration at highway speeds?
Thanks in Advance!!!

No. Steering wheel vibration at highway speeds is a result of improperly balanced tires. The FSTB and RSB should have been standard equipment on the Max (as they are on the Infiniti's) considering how much they improve the handling of the car. Get them.

(Definitely get the mods., tho! RSB is most significant)

Yes.
Of all the handling mods I have (the ones that I can speak of), the FSTB was the most help. I have FSTB, RSB, Sprints, 17"s wheels, and Yokohama tires. FSTB really makes the chassis lean significantly less.

if its an impulse buy it will be one with great rewards!
my FSTB helped. my front end (structurally speaking) is more rigid. its noticeable in the steering wheel. i noticed a reduction in vibration (not like the steering wheel turning left-and-right/shaking like an imbalanced wheel/tire would cause, but a very, very subtle tuning-fork-like buzz) and much less kickback to the steering wheel when i encounter road irregularities. steering is smoother and it takes a bit more effort to turn at speed (which i like). i have better feel of the road (almost like an integra i had).
a rsb shouldnt effect steering wheel vibration (the obvious being that its bolted to the rear suspension), but RSB in general terms typically will help in leveling the ride in undulations (straight line or a curve). performance/handling-wise a RSB will kick ****!
get both dammit!!!!

Stillen - best
Not aware of anyone going for a bigger FSB, so maybe someone else can chime in on that if they know anything. . .
