I recently purchased a FSTB from tuningpros on ebay, just wanted to give my feedback on the quality of the part and install.

Here is a quick look at the product after install:

Overall, I'm glad I only spent about 30 bucks on this item as I can't see how a 150 to 200 dollar Stillen product would be much different. The build of the item felt very solid, install was easy and there were no clearance issues at all.

Performance wise? Seems to have helped with the torque steer a bit which is what I was really aiming for. I don't think it's going to help me take turns any faster, just a more solid feel up front.

 

Wow. It might not be Stillen or Racingline quality, but for $30 that is a deal! Looks nice, and really, for a part as trivial as an FSTB, who cares if it's the best/beefiest? I like it. It'd go well with my polished IM.

 

Nothing wrong with an eGay stb. Ive got one and it does its job. Stiffened up the front (no homo) making steering feel more solid. Just be sure to tighten it up well.

 

On stock suspension, FSTB are awesome. I noticed the first time I took a few hard corners that the front end didn't twist around as much.

Once I put my coilovers on though, and ran my car for about a week before putting it back on, I never felt any difference with it on or off. It's pretty much an, "Ooo, ahh..." mod now.

They do look nice, though.

 

With a stock-ish suspension, you'll be more planted accelerating hard into a turn from a standing start. That's pretty much the extent of it...

...which is a worthy little mod, in my book. Glad you're happy, OP. Go out and do some ramping. Have fun.

 

Good cheap mod. Probably won't add any more g's to your grip but it does make your car feel more responsive and tighter.

I think I paid $60 for my Vibrant FSTB, well worth the money.

 

yeah i got the same one too......pretty good for the price

 

looks good and like the price....
