Do you guys that have the bar feel a large improvement from the bar or is it a sort of subtle improvment

 

I heard it doesn't do anything but makes the engine bay look nice.

 

It does make a difference but it subtle.
Turn in on corners is flattened somewhat. I thought it was worth the ~$40.

Oh yeah, it makes the engine bay look better as well.

 

You need the RSB though. That's what makes the difference.

 

Made a huge difference with my car, I think springs make it much more noticeable though.

 

all these supesion mods drop rsb and fstb are best when they are together..

 

I noticed quite a difference at highway speeds (80mph) when cornering. Plus, the car seems more stable at those speeds.

Oh, and it does look really good as well.

 

i liked it. looks good and a noticeable difference. more solid feel/cornering, absorbs bumps a bit better.

 

minumal diffirence but looks nice

 

I thought FSTB made a noticable difference. It definitely helps 90 degree turns... Like someone already said, its 40 bucks well spent...

 

I can't even tell the difference when I installed mine. But yes, it looks grrrrrrrrrreat in the engine bay.

 

that's hardcore driving... cornering & 80mph lol. j/k. i agree it definitely gives the car more lateral support & slightly reduces body roll. the mod is worth the money

 

I just bought one on Friday and it's coming by this friday FROM SWA for $50 Shipped. I think it will help a lot.

 

There was a noticable difference from the first turn out of my neighborhood... well worth the money, and yes... it looks good too!

Can't wait to try the RSB.

you will love the RSB even more!!

 

and buy that Z...or i will!!

 

I need to invest in an FSTB and an RSB soon.

 

isnt it true that it hits the hood or something like that, or is that the other strut bars??

 

mine doesnt hit at all. the hood lining barely touches it and causes a little smudge on the bar. not a problem though

 

Mine has never rubbed at all.
I went with a nicer brand because I was afraid of that type of problem with one of the $15 ebay bars.
+ the otto looks nicer.

 

ok thanx.

Yup .. it's called BOMZ ... i got it from ebay for $30 something shipped .. can't complain about it... it's rubbing against the hood insulation ... It might not does that on 4th gen .. I'm looking to buy an OTTO bar though or some replicas on ebay ..

 

I love mine, I only got the generic brand from Ebay that is just polished all the way across, but It was 30 bucks well spent. Even if it is generic stuff. I am sure in the future I will get the Otto.

Anyone know where I can get the RSB at? I love the difference the FSTB made, Now that you have said the RSB makes all the difference, I want in on that. If someone has a link to post that would be great. I didnt see one on the SWA site...

But also, my bar does not touch my hood. Perfect fit...

Damn, SWA wants way too much for strut bars, I will stick with my generic ebay stuff
