just installed these two peices. took me about 1.5 hours to do both. the RSB was a little tough without having the car up. took it out for a spin last night and dizzaamn. very nice handling improvements for such a small mod. I think it's the shiznut that i started to mod my car which i would have never done before i started on the forum!! Thanks for all the advice!!

Yeah, FSTB and RSB really improve your car's handling.
Yes, t2000j, RSB-rear sway bar, FSTB-front strut tower brace.

Re: RSB

Depending on where you live.
I called most of the Pep Boys in San Diego and they don't
even know the name Addco.

Re: RSB

Screw Pep Boys. Call Shox.com, their number is their website, and tell them what you want. They'll place the order with Addco and about a week later you get the bar. Be careful most likely you will not get everything you need in the box, I didn't, luckily there is a 4X4 shop that had the parts I needed.

OK, I never heard that you can get RSB from Pepboys. Contact GotRice? or Avalon Racing for a price quote. I got Stillen RSB and love it.

Re: RSB

DO NOT ORDER FROM COURTESY. I believe that they are good people and what not, but Shox.com can get you the same thing for 129.00 plus shipping, my total came to 149.00. This little move will save you at least 20 dollars. Thats my 2 cents.

Re: MIssing Parts???

It's not Shox.com's fualt, Addco has morons working for them and the problem has to do with the final check of the copmponents when shipped from the factory. Do what you want, the missing part was no big deal to me, and anyways my instance may be an isolated one.
