Thread: FSTB Price Reduction!! $225 shipped

Grandmasride, can we see pics of the physical connection to the strut towers themselves?? (on the brace you just got in the mail) I wanna see if it looks like the pic I just posted.

I'm installing the fstb tomorrow night after my last final exam!!!
I'll post plenty of pics.
I think this will work better then the overrated cusco fstb
props on oem's better design.

I realize shipping would take longer due to the holidays, but there were other circumstances which made me upset already. I don't want to get into it. I got my fstb, if it works great, I'll endorse their product and would definitely buy from them again in the future -as long as the parts are already made to order basis.

Grandmasride, Please let me know how it fits. I am not sure what happend to the shipment but as you can see it left along time ago.

no problem, whats done is done.
i got my fstb & I'm happy with it.
I'll post pics after the install.
thanks!

Ok, the fstb does not fit right. As I had forseen are reiterated the problem with the intake manifold for the lowports. The gc camber plates already sit high, the mounting bracket + the fstb adds an additional 1.5" in height. See the pics below.

1. I tried repositioning the mounting bracket multiple times.

2. First try -the fstb sits on top of the brass fitting on the intake manifold

3. Second try -everything bolts up fine, but the fstb sits too high and I cannot close my hood -(not even close to closing)

4. Third try -tried flipping the mounting bracket upside down -the threaded portion of the bracket touches part of the car, so i cannot sit them flushly.

The bar you order was not for a GC plate. The GC ones just get a flat plate on them and everything bolts together. You need to either get bottom style camber plates or knock off those studs on the plates.The spacers that are welded on are for extra height when a GC plate is not used.

I ordered the fstb for ground control camber plates. I asked prior to ordering the bar. I'll dig up my inquiry on the other forum. This is another reason why i wondered why my fstb was different from happynoles? On your website it looks like he has gc camber plates? Unless you guys started making square ones? So what now? I should not have to modify these since this is not what i ordered.
Anyways, if you don't belive me, here is the info from your invoice. I can even seen you an attachment of the original.
