RSB installed..FST brace next?
Installed Stillen RSB and cornering is flatter. Car may have a little whip on highway over road imperfections...could be my imagination. Anyway, even tho my '01 SE is only a few months old do you gentlemen on this list feel I'd benefit adding the FST brace? I assume it will create a sharper turn-in...not sure what else I will experience. Has anybody first installed the RSB and THEN the FST brace? Appreciate you input.
Oh, BTW, install is a tad different from Paul Stauffers's directions, which are excellent. ABS sensor cable is no longer behind a metal shield along trailing arm. Instead, it is exposed and is attached to a thin, 1 inch piece of stamped metal or bracket that sticks out perpendicular to trailing arm. Pulled the rubber tie holding the cable out, bent the bracket down against trailing arm and placed the blue Stillen brackets over it. Seems to have worked fine.

I noticed a much greater difference after installing the RSB than the FSTB but in the general scheme of keeping your car nice and tight, the FSTB does help out greatly. I agree with UMD, do it. 
I had the same install for the RSB as well.

Do the RSB install yourself. Just need some wrenchs, two jacks (or ramps) and possibly a friend... And some beers for afterwards.

MaDxKiLLa, I would recommend you try it yourself if you have the tools. I don't think anything can go wrong except it fall off while driving down the road. Maybe somebody in Maryland can pitch in and guide/help you...

rsb and fstb are a great combination.
the rstb is a waste of time and money IMHO, especially since it is such a PITA to put on

I agree, especially since the RSTB partially blocks the entrance to the 60/40 fold down rear seats! That's just STUPID! But I think you'd benefit from the FSTB and RSB.
