Yes, I test fitted the prototype and it cleared no problem. EDFC clears too. Best STB on the market by far.

MAN, this is one short GB...

Could someone educate me on this STB???
Far as I know this will stiffens up the entire front end...
Will I get less body roll with front STB???
Will I lose a ride comfort???

I had the same questions before I got a TRD STB, that didn' fit. You are correct in regards to the stiffness of the front end. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, from what I'm told you won't really feel it until or unless you're doing some hard / intense cornering, or if you run over something. Also it doesn't reduce the comfort ride feel. The purpose is to have a full patch / tire print when cornering (hard), you know keep the tires on the ground for maximum performance.

I'm getting mine.
