Thanks to everyone who responded to my Rear Sway Bar questions. Sounds like the car handles much better and that unless driven like a raving lunatic, I shouldn't have to worry about the *** end coming around.

New question...with regard to the courtesy STB, I have seen a web site where it indicates that u may need to use a hack saw to cut a pie shaped piece of sheet metal near the strut tower itself to allow the bar to fit....can anybody confirm or deny this? Apparently the Stillen u merely needed to bolt on. Once again, appreciate everyone's input. Thanks.

I just bolted the courtesy FSTB unit up with no modifications to see how it would perform. The flange was able to take the slight bending with no problems. I have had the FSTB on for four months now and have had no noise or handling problems due to the FSTB. Definitely a modification that everyone should perform!

The newer Courtesy FSTB is a straight bolt on just like the Stillen FSTB. The older FSTB required a little hacking.

I recieved my Courtesy FSTB 2 days ago, and intall was easy.. Only thing that I had to take off was a plug that was in the one of the a/c pipe over the left strut tower, but that was easy... It works great, a must have for Max owners...
