Does anyone have the southwestautowork.com FSTB? IF so would you recommend it? I talk to a rep and he said that they supply washers to fit below the FSTB mount, and this will actually raise the bar to clear the Intake Manifold. Does this work?

Please provide as much info as possible. thanks!!!

 

I have one and installed 2 SS washers per bolt and it cleared with no problems.

 

Do you like the way it looks, feels? I am also thinking of getting the Cattman or Bomz.

This may be a third option for you. I love mine!
And NO Fittment issues,either!!!
Enjoy,Good Luck and Happy Holidays.

 

Thanks much for your input, I think I like the OTTO racing better, the SouthWest one looks like every other one out there. Thanks again.

 

handling wise they all do the same thing - i'd rather have no names on my car rather than being a billboard for a ghetto company - u'd save a good 30 bucks as well.

 

Check my thread on cheap FSTB A++....I love the thing. I can take pics if you want. No problems with clearence or washer nozzles. Only used one washer per bolt.

 

Mine should be here tomorrow, can't wait!

 

Wow, the OTTO one looks like it was "stolen" from "stealin". Get it?

 

I have a bomz fstb and i had no problems installing ita nd it looks awsome all that for 34.99 cant beat that. check out my home page and go to page 5 for pics and sign my guess book thanks

Installed the Autoworks bar just now. A couple of little things had to be done to get a proper fit. I did not want to clamp down the strut bolts over the ridges on the strut tower because it just bends the bar ends so I spaced the ends to fit properly. Looks nice and the steering really does feel better!

 

I have the SWAW fstb for my 4th gen, really good quality and a nice chrome finish, it fit perfectly. Im sure the ones for 5th gens are of similar quality and ya can't go wrong for the price.

 

Did you have to use extra spacers to clear the intake manifold with your FSTB?

 

I personally have about two inches from the intake to the bar. I think problems only arise on 2k2+.
