Front Strut Bar

I have a 2k max and I know that the RSB will definitely be noticeable when installed; however, I want to know if you guys with the Front Strut Bars can feel a difference with FSTB.

Thanks.

Smooth roads no, rough roads yes, it tightens up the car a bit. It will be more noticeable /beneficial if you've installed lowering springs which are usually stiffr than stock springs, hence you will tend to have a bit more chassis deflection with lowering springs versus stockers & the brace will be more noticeable here...

I forgot what the car felt like without the FSTB. There was a difference when i went into the turns. i think the steering was little more responsive. Not sure. Went from a courtesy FSTB to the Cattman Double Ti FSTB. Same feel. Looks better now.
