I don't think a world of difference.
It's added to reduce "twist" of the front-end as you know, so wouldn't think it would change dramatically. Anyone have one? Post here. I want to know if I should buy one.

I picked up the cheap Matrix FSTB from Streetbeat.com a couple of months ago and I feel that it was a worthwhile upgrade for the Max. The front end is alot tighter on turns with a whole lot less body roll. It's not a "go-fast" mod but when taking a tight turn or a fast turn, you'll feel the difference!

I went to your Streetbeat.com site and it was an entertainment site or something like that. So where did you get your sway-bar? I am wanting one, but not the stillen price!

Dang...sorry, I shoulda posted the url, here it is:
www.street-beat.com I had a small problem with them though. Took a week longer than they said it would, that sucked but still got it. I did a group buy for 4 other guys here in Utah so we only paid like $34 a piece for them since they all shipped to the same location.

Here are suspensions mods and what they do:
RSB=best bang for buck---it elminates body roll, no difference in steering feel or when going straight. FSTB=Don't spend $200 from Stealin, get it for $60 or less, it does make a slight difference, it makes the steering feel "tighter" springs=stiffer ride, mainly for lowering the car shocks/struts=depends on the type...... just trying to help |
