SWA's Otto FSTB = Good/Bad/Ugly?
 
I'm looking at the FSTB from SWA. It's an Otto (?) does anyone have experience w/ it? I don't see how you adjust the lateral tightness of the unit. Anyone have a closeup pic of the adjustment? The pic on the website doesn't seem to show enough detail to tell.

What happened with the conflicting issue that you mentioned with the LSD's and FSTB's?

I had the bar on my 2000 with no fitment or rubbing issues. A number of board members and our local customers have this bar with no problem at all. :)

I have one on my 3rd gen and love it. I test fit it to my Dads 2000 SE 5spd and had no problems. SWA rocks aswell :) I highly recommend it.

I called Stillen and they assured me it would work fine. He had additional fitment notes that he read off that said the FSTB is okay w/ the HLSD. I don't remember his exact words though, which is why I haven't posted them on the other thread (out of fear of misquoting and someone doing something the shouldn't).

I couldn't care about looks eaither. I'm concerned with how you pretension it with that setup. Is it easy? Do they have instructions on pretensioning?

I didn't feel a difference when I installed the otto fsb on my car.

I heard great things about it. Especially the looks.

many people don't even feel the difference w/ FSTB
