otto fstb....

came to doorsteps yesterday...

installed in an hour... had to do it at 2 different places due to lack of the allen wrench for tightening.

steering is more responsive now and looks good at a fraction of the cost of stealin's.

anyhow, one gripe i had was that darn welded tab for holding the filter box mounting bracket didn't allow for the strut bar bracket to seat level or parallel to the strut tower. cinched it down anyway, there is some twisting existant due to the nuissance but it's holding fine.

suspension mods: 2 down 2 to go..... still would like to go with new springs and shocks/struts.

brakes: a set of 4 powerslot rotors (front&rear) on order thru GD...

still stuck between frankencar and injen setups....

exhaust: obx (if gd is still on) or frankencar

battery tie down: on order pending GD's 20 minumum requirement

The OBX is nice. Did you look att he HKS cat back? That one is real nice too. Injen is nice, but if you want true cold air go with the Place Racing CAI, its not as nice looking but it definately does the job well.

The HKS is a rear section only, similar to the Stillen.

I just installed my Otto fstb and my stillen rsb! They are amazing!! I dont think I can stop now either, I think I have to order my new springs and struts!!! I decided to go with progresss springs and kyb gr2 struts. I cant wait for them to ship out those SWA tie downs, I got in on that too, its gonna go great with the otto fstb and my new stillen hi-flo intake!!

good choice for dropping your car cwebb. i just got the progress and kyb gr2 setup with otto fsb, and the handling is lovely. if you have any q's let me know. the otto fsb is a lovely addition to the suspension setup...

does the kyb gr2 require modifications to fit my 2k2?
