Jim, I noticed a difference. It seems like the front tracks better. I also bought from Procarparts. No problem, perfect fit (I have an auto) Shipping was quick and the item arrived intact. The OTTO FSTB is solid metal. I don't think it will flex, which is good.

 

You can kinda feel it taking high speed turns, like on and off ramps... but apart from that, not really... then again, I only had it on for a week before putting my struts/springs in, so that really overshadowed any effects it might have had...

 

My first mod and only mod for a long time was the Otto FSTB. It made the front very tight, very solid on the crapenzas. Then I put on the crappy, flexy 512s and the handling went to hell. I cannot imagine ho bad the car would have felt without the FSTB.

 

Thanks for the feedback some of you gave me within the thread on the effectiveness of the FSTB. I am now armed with enough information to justify purchasing a FSTB. SHOOT even the wife says get one cus it will do two things: make the engine compartment look nice and match the other polished aluminum lines within the engine area, and it will help with handling.
THANK YOU
JIM

 

Just dont buy it from procarparts.com

**UPDATE**

I finally got through to to someone at procarparts.com today. The best part was when she told me to send over a picture of the defective item and I told her I did that almost 2 weeks ago. She was like, oh, well I cant help you then, Only the manager can check that email. So I was like WTF, why did you ask me for it then??? "Yeah well, he left early today, he handles all returns, and he doesnt return phone calls because he is so busy" (apparently not emails either). He must be real busy leaving at 3pm. Man what a royal PITA, this place sucks ***. Basically I have to keep wasting my time until I get ahold of this retard and explain the situation. ugh.....

Cliffs: Dont buy from Procarparts.com

 

dude just keep calling that bish like 10 times a day and email the a-hole twice as often. i was actually thinking of going with them for my clear side markers but not anymore.

 

I intend to be a pest!

Seriously, dont buy from them. The sidemarkers are real cheap feeling and fit the stock bulb housings very poorly. God forbid you havea problem and need to return them!

 

Hmm... now that I recall... my clear corners are from procarparts... didn't know they were still around since I got em 3 years ago... anyways... mine actually feel pretty sturdy and fit perfectly... sorry you're having so many problems with em...

 

wow that totally blows! ebay is a really scary place.

 

I'd start a thread in the Vendor Feedback forum and make sure every time you email them, you link this and the feedback thread. Do the same if you leave voice mails. A negative feedback on ebay they will shrug off, but the org is a force to reckon with, all 45,000+ of us.

p.s. I'm glad I didn't have any issues with them.
