you are paying more for the stillen one cause you are paying for the name. every FSB is the same and will do the same thing. only diffirence is price and the name on it. i have the Otto one.
you can get them for even cheaper on ebay.

Ya, I just put my Ebay FSTB on last week and have been happy with it. I paid 23 dollars (total incl shipping).

Put my eBay FSTB on some time back... its holding up well....

And no, according to the popular vote on the Org... there isn't much difference between the FSTBs, just diff in name and price....

I doubt its gonna feel too different... I only really felt a difference in handling after I put in my new suspension, not the FSTB alone.... but hey, that's just me....

Although I do know most people have said the RSB, not FSTB, makes the most difference in handling, as a mod by itself....

Are we talking FSTB front strut tower bar or fsb as in front sway bar. Our cars have front sway bars already.. We dont have rsb and that helps a lot to add these

Has anyone had good luck with the FSTB ebay seller Autobacs1? His product is inexpensive and I don't want to buy junk. His link is below. Thanks

I was looking at this one on ebay. It was polished so I thought it would look good on the car ... I did ask the guy to confirm it would work on my 2k2 because the auction says 00-04 and I didnt know if they were interchangable ...
