FSTB Options?
Another noob question, no search ability, sorry. Stillen & Cattman make the ones I've seen; anyone else? Both mentioned seem kinda expensive for what they are. Installs should be a no-brainer, with the exception of proper fastener torque, correct? Any info is appreciated.

It's a piece of metal...so any product made with comparable metal should be same. Thats all you need to install it. roughly a 15 min job

make sure your car is on level ground when you install it, btw...


but if you want REAL handling improvement, a Rear Sway Bar (RSB) is much much much more effective than an FSTB. FSTB is not all that noticeable. You can get a RSB for around $100 and it makes a HUGE difference!

I bought one off ebay as well for my '95 Max. I never got chance to install it, but it seemed to be of good quality best that I could tell. Is there any chance that it would fit my 2K Max that I have now...anyone?

Why not just go out and try it?

Ive got the OTTO BTW. Wanted the Cattman, but I also wanted my $200 more. I like the OTTO though. I can tell a good difference in the way the car feels just driving around normaly. All in all it was $50 well spent.
