Does FSTB change the steering feel?
I have searched the posts and heard all the improvements that FSTB does to the car. Before I order one, I would like to ask the changes that it does to the steerin "feel". Some says that it takes the "looseness" away from the steering wheel. But does that make turning a bit harder?
Somehow I liked how easy I can turn the wheel while driving the Maxima in city, turning is almost effortless that I can do it with one hand. It's apparent after I drove my pal's 2K Accord V6, which has a heavier steering (I have to turn with both hands on the wheel sometimes). Does adding the FSTB make the steering heavier? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I also installed the Courtsey FSTB less than a year ago. Since I'm not an aggressive driver, I can't tell exactly how much it improves overall. As to the easy turning capability, there is no difference before and after the installation. I kind of feel the car body is a little stiffer when I start from speed zero or low speed and meanwhile make a right angle turn.
