FSTB differences

hey org, did a search and didn't find what i was looking for. have a 2002 SE and after hearing all the positive feedback on FSTB, I gots to have one. I've read of clearance problems, correct torque, preloading, etc. What i want to know, is what is the best one out there with no problems. I heard stillen makes one that fits perfectly. BOMZ seams to fit on some and then not on others. Anyways, money is not an option, i just want one with no hassel. if you experienced mod people say to go with stillen, thats what i'll do, otherwise i'm open to your experience with this mod.

regards

I put a courtesy bar on an 02 max for a friend, and it fit perfectly, and looked good. Much cheaper than the stillen !

I have a BOMZ. Ebay auction from directcarparts.com $40 shipped. Fits perfect. No clearance problems. Looks pretty good, too.

Cattman, hands down. Makes the stillin looks like a piece a poo. How can you beat dual titanium bars going across your hood? That's just fatness and fit like a charm

Did you not read? Money's no option here..... Therefore the mention of price is irrelevant, so yeah, let's rumble little man

What's up Maximam?
Yeah,I agree. Paid a bit more than the "generic" bars that everyone seems to be using, but IMHO it looks a hell of alot better.
The looks of a Stealin for a quarter of the price.
I'd say that's a win/win situation.
I'm smilin'.

Stillen all the way! I'm not saying it's the best and it definitely is not even close to the cheapest. I just like it. The fit and finish are great.
