i'm looking into joining the group buy @ custommaxima.com for the stillen fstb and rsb. i've read a grip of threads on the the fstb already, but my question is whether or not i'll be sacrificing a smooth ride for the handling.
i figure that i'll be trading off a bit, but i'm not interested in rattling my teeth over uneven asphalt.
i'd like to maintain a good ride with better cornering, the holy grail i guess. i know they won't affect me as much as new springs and shocks so is this a reasonable way to go?
thanks for the input guys.

also, has anyone dealt with custommaxima.com in the past? any words of advice?

thanks again.

The ride quality will not change with the FSTB installed. If there is a change, you won't notice it at all.

You kinda notice it when turning at like 30mph or greater

Kev, YJ, you missed the RSB part. The RSB will give you a tad rougher ride over bumps. Nothing too bad whatsoever and the feeling of your rear staying flat on the road is DEFINATELY worth it.

I have not noticed any negative effects from the fstb and rsb. The ride gets slightly stiffer with the rsb, but I like it

I was talking about the FSTB. Didn't even see he mentioned the RSB. Look at what time I was posting.
