Courtesy FSTB... You CAN feel it...

I agree with what a lot of other people on here have said, I installed my FSTB on Sunday and I already had H&R/RSB in place... But the cumulative effect of all three together is very nice! I did notice the RSB quite a bit when I first put it on, and today and last night driving around after adding the Courtesy bar to the mix I notice an overall increased feel of stability in the front end in the corners, flatter cornering (slightly), and most of all the turn-in is much more precise and predictable. Taking a corner that would normally require me to overcorrect after straightening the wheel, now with the FSTB the car just quickly and tightly takes the turn and straightens out again with minimal correction. I am liking this a lot, and I can guarantee that if I were to go back to stock now, this wouldn't even feel like the same car!

P.S. After over 5000 miles since my H&R install I am still on stock struts/shocks and they have been treating me just fine. I am expecting to get at least 20000 miles out of 'em... I think if you are planning to get springs before you get struts/shocks, go with H&R because I really don't think they are affecting my strut/shock life in a negative way at all...
