I installed the Courtesy FSTB today. I have not driven it yet, but I will go for a spin tonight.

Question for those who have FSTB. I was able to torque two of the three shock bolts correctly but the third is blocked by the end plate bolt so I just used a box end wrench and guessed. Did I miss something?

 

That's what happend to me. I guess you can temporarily remove the air filter box, then torque but i kinda estimated. Don't think it'll make that big of a difference.

 

yea those bolts were partially blocked but i still managed to torque those suckers.. just use different angles.

as for the effectiveness of the FSTB, definitely better on quick lane changes and cornering.. not much difference on regular roads.

 

FSTB will sharpen up the steering response and make the front end seem a bit more rigid. Get the RSB next and you will feel a nice difference

 

Yeah, that is my next piece.

Oh man, you gotta get the RSB with the FSTB, it is like night and day when you have those two mods. They are great!!

 

I had the same problem with the third bolt and had posted 3 weeks ago that to do the job correctly you have to install the plate, torque the 3 bolts on each side and then install the bar. However if one on each side is not torqued I would think it would be OK>

 

do u also torque the bar nuts to 35?

 

those really don't need to be torqued to a specific amount... just make sure everything is nice and tight
