BlehmCo Suspension Modifications

I was considering buying a Lower Tie Bar by BlehmCo. http://www.mattblehm.com/suspension.htm In the description is says "Handling improvements are very similar to installing a strut tower brace, which you can also add on the top of the suspension to tie the front end together really well!" When I installed my Stillen FTSB I felt minimal to no-difference. I currently have the Stillen FTSB and the Progress RSB and was wondering if the BlehmCo Lower Tie Bar stage would make any difference. Or if the stage II would be a better buy.

The stage 1 makes more of a difference than an FSTB....includes less lean into corners and better steering respons.

The stage 2 does the same thing, but more of both.

I highly recommend.

Both make a noticeable difference in the behavior of the car but stage II makes much more difference that stage I.

BTW, why don't you ask Matt directly? Considering that he has designed and built every LTB for our cars he is the best person you can ask this question.
