They messed up on my order too. They sent me the clear bumper lights without the amber bulbs. When they did sent it, i had to pay the duty charge twice. (i live in Canada)
Do the strut bar really help? Is there hard evidence that is does help on the turns? I 'm thinking of getting it but i'm skeptical.

I am not one to normally plug other people's business but I got my FSTB from "StealthMax" (Ken) and it is great. Easy install and great service. It helps to buy parts for a certain car from a place that knows that exact car. Just my 0.02$$. Peace: e3 - spamman

I once ordered a clear sidemarkers for my friend's Camry, but they said my credit card didn't go through because I had different Billing adress. So I said cool, I'll take my business elsewhere and ordered the makers from other vendor.
3 weeks after that, out of blue, I got this email from UPS notifying me that the sidemarkers were shipped and headed to somewhere in CA.
![Mad](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
I tried to check what was going on, and found out that the procarparts charged me and sent the sidemarkers using their ghost company (the website for this company who supposedly sent me the sidemarkers which I didn't order had the same menu and pictures that the procarparts used/ except that the website was for the shows only, they didn't have prices on their product even, and there was no option for placing orders there)
I didn't bother to investigate more. I just don't order anything from them anymore instead.

I ordered my indiglos from there. Did it from their website and immeditely received email notification. The next day I was billed and One day after that I received another email notifcation saying my order was shipped ups ground. five days later I had my package. I just ordered another pair of clears from them last week and it has already been shipped and its on its way. I guess its just a flip of the coin for some.

I may be wrong, but this seems like an opinion type thing to me...maybe he observed different things than you did. To him, the FSTB gave more of a result. To you, the RSB did. It's all good.

Ignore the fact that they make them for almost every car based on the fact that they improve handling to such a degree that everyone wants them, forget that they are stock on some cars (and why would a car company put them on if they do nothing? To waste income?) Your right though I mean it only costs 30 bucks or so, it cant do anything effective

The bar keeps the tops of the towers from leaning inwards during hard cornering. This reduces body flex. This allows you to corner harder with better control. The RSB is a better buy than the RSTB IMO.

Logically yes, but this product does not stiffen the suspension, well, not exactly. It keeps the car from flexing and allowing the strut towers to come closer together durring a turn. This does not make the ride any more harsh, it only helps you take corners faster with more control.
