today i jus received (automax_95)jason's coutesy RSTB. 5 minutes installation and felt a bit stiffer at harsh turn. i recommend this product to those who wants some extra firm at high speed turns. whoever has any of these bars, wat is ur RECOMMAND torque settin? i just want an ultimate settin tat my bar is stiff and won't break.

 

torque as in torquing the 6 nuts holding the fstb down? I have mine at 35 ft lbs.

rstb is 15 ft lbs I believe for the 4 nuts

RSB, just tighen them nice and tight and also retighten them over time since they come loose.

if your talking about how tight to have the strut braces pushing against the brackets then I just have mine until there is no movement at all.

 

35ft lbs for FSTB i have them on 60lbs (stock spec) for the last 1 year....

oh krap...

 

woaa 60 is alot. careful not to strip those things its a bish to fix

 

35 is max(i think), i have mine at 30

 

isn't the RSTB pointless???

 

set your FSTB to 35


what was the point of the RSTB?? I thought it was "bad" for our cars? anyways, get your biatch dropped

 

$50 for RSTB why not? it served its function so all good.

and yea droppin is the next thing i'm workin on

 

$50 for RSTB??where did u get yours from?i want one too!!!

 

Actually I don't think it does serve it's function and that is why almost no one has it. People have the RSB because that actually makes a difference unlike the RSTB. Why do you need 2 things that do the same thing, one actually since the RSTB does not. You just wasted $50...

 

FSTB doesn't do much either, whats your point?

 

At least the FSTB works a little. It stiffens up the front. Drive a max with no FSTB and one with, you actually CAN feel the difference where with the RSTB you can't. The FSTB helps up front and the RSB helps out back. That's my point...

 

IMO, i feel the turns are firmer at high speed.

most people who owned RSTB didn't say it help suspension. they said only a little. which was somethin i felt as well. if u never own one u can't judge it's a waste of money or not. jus my .02.

 

i bought it off from jason (automax_95). courtesy doesn't make it anymore $50, so i consider tat as a rare part. if u really want a RSTB, only Stillens make them. so jus look around to see if other members are sellin their RSTB if ur lucky.

btw jason is takin parts off his car, he probably still got some stuff... he's a great guy to work with, highly recommnded
