I recieved my fstb yesterday and installed it after work. THe hardest part was finding the right sockets to use and to find my locking pillars, other than that, it took me 20 minutes. It has been raining all week here near Philly, so I couldn't really push it, but I can definitely feel less body roll. The steering is stiffer, and I think it tracks better (I was going to get my alignment checked). Overall, the feeling is a lot more sport car like, with less body roll, a stiffer steering wheel, and more feel for the road. My RSB is back ordered from Avalon, so my rear feels loose compared to the front. I can't wait for the rsb, the handling will be awesome paired with the fstb.

I recommend using a torque wrench b/c I don't think I would have tightened the bolts enough without it.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Yo_its_ok,

When did you order all those rsb's? I put my order in on Thursday the 5th. Paul said he would recieve more rsb's in six days, so they should be there by now. I don't think he has shipped it to me, because he hasn't charged my credit card yet.
