Re: Fstb

Courtesy - Yes
Stillen - No

Couple more bars coming out in the market or are already in the market but nothing has been verified to fit on the 2k2 yet.

I'm testing one this weekend for the 2k2. Results will come if it fits.

What exactly does the Front Strut Tower Brace do? I know what the RSB does but not quite sure what the FSTB does.

Front STB does the same as the rear. STB's prevent the flexing of the strut towers which in turn provides more front end and steering stability. During hard cornering the strut towers are placed under very high stress and tend to move slightly which affects the steering angle and thus the position of the front wheel camber.

All in all STBs stiffen the body of the car
