Well I really didn't notice much of a difference on the handling. I guess you could probably notiice a difference if you make hard turns, which i hardly ever do.

I think it tightens things up a bit. I haven't really pushed the limits on cornering. My stones aren't large enough!!!

Probably your car is already very stiff... let us know how the effect of the TOMS LCB is...

I'm very confident that you will feel the effect of the Toms front LCB. The Toms made an immediated impression on me after installing. For me this was a very worthwhile addition, the steering was more precise and the car just went where I pointed it - great product.

Your flat black mounts look sweet. What kind of paint did you use? Did I miss out on this GB; am I too late?

An STB is very DIY-able. A good metric socket set is all you really need. As for lifting the car, it depends on how your coilovers are mounted right now. If it is slightly tweaked, you only need to lift the car a little to release the coilovers to adjust to the STB.

actually sometimes even with stock suspension you can't put on the stb, coz' teh car has flexed over the yrs. just try to fit it on first and see how it goes, then decide if you need to jack up the car
