Installed my Stillen FSTB, unbelievable!!
Installed my Stillen FSTB, unbelievable!!
Just installed my Stillen FSTB (in -100 degrees freezing weather outside
), and all I have to say is the difference is amazing. I took it for a test drive right now right after I got done installing it, and while pulling out of my parking lot the car just felt kinda tighter and I thought it's just psychological and don't think anything until you test it for real
...but as soon as I pulled out and made the first turn (going a little faster than normal but not that fast), I FELT it. As soon as I got done making the first turn "ooooooohhhhhhhhh" automatically came out of mine and my brother's (who was sitting next to me) mouths at the same time..lol. And then I took it on the highway and it was feeling more like a beemer, I was going around 100 on loops the whole time and didn't even feel it. It felt like I was going too slow. I also have the Addco RSB already so both working together might be making more of a difference, but all I have to say is that the car feels smoother all around, going over bumps etc, has more of a grip on the road, and you won't feel like your life is on the line when you're going fast on the highway. So the people who don't have a rear sway bar and the front strut bar, just get 'em, best bang for the buck. As far as installation it was pretty easy too. Took me about an hour because it was freezing cold outside and not much light and what not. Anyone can install it no matter how dumb they are...lol. And I also torqued the nuts to 35-40 ft. lbs since that's what I've read everywhere. Bought a cheap a** 20 dollar torque wrench from sears to do the job. So like I said, the difference isn't small, I also have the Stillen RSTB sitting at home which I will install tomorrow after I'm 'unfrozen'. Can't wait for the AGX's to come in, all these things combined should give me the handling I always wanted from my car.
