FSTB Question

Okay...I'm thinking about adding a FSTB to my bone-stock 2K1 SE Anniversary Ed. I've checked the FAQ, but that didn't answer my question. My main concern is altering the stock "feel" of the ride and changing any alignment settings. Will a FSTB (specifically the one from Courtesy Parts) cause any adverse effects? Such as abnormal tire wear, the necessity to get more alignments, or a bumpier ride, etc.?

I'm looking to reduce body roll and improve cornering. I don't want to change shocks or springs b/c, from what I can tell, this will definitely change the way the car rides. I am REALLY liking the way the car feels around town and on the highway, and want to improve where I can without sacrificing this.

The only problem I heard about the FSTB was that some peoples bar cut off (or pinched) their drivers side windshield washer fluid. I myself have never witnessed it or had that problem, it's just something I remember a few people mentioning.

Hey Phuong, thanks for the FSTB. I love the way the car feels now around long sweeping turns.

Mine was pinched off for about a day but it fixed itself and never came back.

FSTB!

I have the stillen fstb on my car with no problems on my AE. It does rub a little on the headliner.search for the thread about pinching windshield washer hoses. seemed curtesy had more problems but it is easily fixed by moving the hoses.

The fSTB will help in cornering/turns. it does not really help body roll for that you need a rsb or springs
