I did some searches, but am a bit stuck in a loop here. Other than Stillen, what companies have you guys bought your FSTB's from? Right now, I'm lookin at Southwest Autoworks brand, or the Bomz Racing one over at directcarparts.net. The FSTB from Cattman also looks promising (just don't know how much it cost?) Any good recommendations based on both quality of the product, and customer service? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

 

freedom, vibrant, custommaxima.com

 

i got mine off ebay for 40 bucks ... works just fine if you ask me

 

if u wanna buy looks, buy cattman, stillen, not that these arent good bars,

if u wanna save some money, southwestautoparts.com is the way to go... Alex fixed the bad not clearing problem..

 

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about them with the free shipping and all.

Mann, 44 people have read this thread so far and no other suggestions? Help me here people!

 

go with vibrant... that's mine... and it's not expensive if i remember correctly...

 

I got the Bomz from Direct Car Parts. Looks good, fits great, no problems with the install. Clears the manifold and doesn't mess with the hood liner/washer line.

 

I ordered a BomZ FSTB from Ebay $24 shipped. No fittment issues, easy installation, and it feels nice and firm when I grab it with both hands and shake the hell out of it. Kinda makes me feel all tingly inside.

If you plan on taking your car to shows or having people gawk at your freshly detailed engine bay, you might want to consider the big name-brand ones as they will look better, especially the new TiBar from Cattman, but I doubt they will function signifigantly better than the inexpensive ones found elswhere.

 

Go with any generic FSTB off of ebay. It works just fine and you will save a ton of money. The Stillen is overpriced crap IMHO. I got my FSTB for $20 of ebay with $12 shipping. The Stillen is $187.

Check out this thread at max-world.
FSTB installed.

 

I have the Bomz one too, I think it was 30 bucks shipped off of EBay. Works and looks great.

 

Procarparts.com has some neat looking ones.. this one for example

I have tested the FSTB from Custommaxima.com. I went down to their facility and Greg put one on my car for testing purposes. He wanted to see first hand the fitment issues. He is going to be sending me a red one after all of the fitment issues have been addressed. We took a picture of it on my car and he will probably at some point post it on his web site. I think that he is going to be charging an introductory price of $68. I can't wait for mine!

 

I am also awaiting mine. I have the polished but sent it back b/c of defect or i would have modified it myself. Let me say that the bars are very nice looking and solid

 

Definately!

 

Thanks for all the advice guys. I know alot of people here swear by e-bay, but I'm not a big fan of it, but that's just my opinion. I have a few options open, but what's the site for the vibrant ones?

I'm not sure exactly where to look for that?
