I found a great deal on ebay for some relatively inexpensive FSTB's that I thought some of you who haven't done this mod yet might be interested in. I wasn't going to make this thread until I actually had it in my possession and tested it out. The bar is very beefy, seems to be built just like the Stillen one & I noticed an immediate difference once I got on the road. Best $35 I've spent on my car performance-wise yet.
BTW,this is NOT my auction, I'm simply spreading the good word.


>>Click me.<<

Guy says there's 39 available...
Hope this helps!

 

I just got the same bar from another org member. I can vouch for this bar as well. Very beefy bar and has nice welds on the strut mounting points. You can not go wrong with this bar.

 

That's sweet! Now I get to spend more money. Thanks guys, I had wondered about this fstb.

 

was looking for a decent priced fstb...thanks picked one up

 

Great find, ty! It's on the way.

 

Nice find. It looks like a good alternative.....looks just like the Stillen and the Otto bar.

 

Ive got one too. A+++++ build quality, and perfect fitment!

 

just ordered mine. It looks like a sweet deal.

 

you can either get this one or the OTTO FSTB. its just as good. i had the OTTO on my max for 2.5 years. great bar for the money

 

just to make sure......it says it works on both 5THGen and 5.5Gen. I hope thats correct.... I was thinking that there was some kind of difference in the bolt line up? anyone know?

 

It actually said "00 - 3.0L" on the box it came in, but I have an '02...you should be all set.

 

same with the one i have, and the one i sold to orgullo

 

Bump...he's still got some left.
Dont miss out!

 

Mine should be here in a couple of days. I'll post up some thoughts once it's installed. Thanks for the heads up!

 

nice, i think im going to order one.

 

My boy just ordered one as well after seeing mine. This is a really solid offer fella's for a great price. Then again you can spend the 100.00 + for the stillen because it says stillen.

 

I dont know if you guys noticed, but he's got some Falken lowering springs for $99.99...does anyone know about these? I'm waiting on a new(to me) set of shoes for the Max and I'm gonna need to lower the car. The drop is 1.7"/1.6". If the springs are anywhere near as good as the FSTB, this might be a nice deal as well.

What do y'all think?

 

Is it really solid? Some of them on eBay are so weak that I can make them flex with my hands.

 

You are not going to bend this with your hands. When I tell you it's solid that is just what I mean. It's heavy as well. An extremely nice bar. Promise you won't be disappointed.

As far as springs... uh... dunno. I wouldn't go that route but that's just me.

 

All I really need them for is a couple months til I can afford an actual setup...the max isn't my daily driver, I probably put 50 miles a week on it just going to the store or the gym. Maybe I'll be a lab rat with this brand.

 

kewl! guess I'll get one too

 

ordering mine tomorrow payday

 

has anyone who has bought one had any problems with them (hood clearance issues, brackets not fitting, etc.)???

edit: no fitment issues for me either. Bar is nice and thick, the bracket is thick and looks very sturdy.

 

There are no fitment issues with this FSTB.

 

i got that one a couple months ago great quality and fitment. definitly cant go wrong for the price.

 

hmm i was saving for a stillen but i guess ill get this

 

FSTB are pretty much all the same, they don't do that much. Hard to beat $39

 

got mine jacked the car up and put it on the right way..... this bar is the ****..... deff recommend buy!!!!

 

just ordered mine should be here by Friday.... by far this is the cheapest mod ive ever done thus far.

im looking for an inexpensive way to do my exhaust....looking for a beefy sound. any suggestions.... looking to by a muffler and get the rest custom made.

 

got this bar too! its realy good deal for the money and looks, as borat would say, berry niice lol

and for maxfeen.. do a flowmaster.. gotta love that rumble ;D im doing that too next summer

 

Got mine in and on today, this is a really nice bar. 100% satisfied.

 

well i went to order one last night and they were all gone..

 

Damn... you should email the guy and ask about getting some more. ****... we should get some type of kick back for promoting this bar so much. lol

A pic just in case he does come up with some more.

 

i also just was about to order one, but he is all out.... i messaged him and asked if he had anymore...

 

I'm sayin!

 

and another pic, just for the hell of it

 

damm i email him and he said that hes sold out..
