I've not purchased the front strut brace, but would probably go with the Stillen, even though it is more $.
I bought the rear sway bar from Cattman. Send Brian an e-mail at this address: Brian C Catts <bcatts@earthlink.net>
I paid $148.50 including shipping, but it was on sale. Price may be somewhat higher now. This is the best rear sway bar because it is solid, the others are all hollow.

None of them are stepping up to these questions. Beginning to believe this step may not be worth the money, particularly the $150 for the Stillen brace.

It's the brand I prefer...
Others may chime in with different makers, however I am just presenting one option that I personally use...

Thanks for the info albert, now i can get my hands on the part. Hopefully it is as good as everyone is talking about. How much improvement is there in the lowering springs? I've got the ftsb and will add the rear, is lowering it inevitable to achieve top-notch handling? Also if you go with springs do you need to get better struts at the same time or are oem suffecient?
