I should receive my front strut friday via UPS. Tracked it down to friday.
My self and Greg did a day of track on last sunday.
Gingerman has more track time again this sunday, so Im off once again. Hopefully Greg is going and then if he wants we can switch cars for a few laps.
He has the comptech and I will have my Cusco.
Or at least I will let you all know what I feel as different from nothing to the cusco.

btw: I got the strut from http://www.alamomotorsports.com per 1Randyc's recommendation. I ordered both front and rear. But found out the rear wouldn't fit with all my stereo stuff in the way. So they have a rear instock for someone if they want one around $155

I doubt that you will be able to feel the difference between bars. It's not as though a STB is a complicated device!!!

You will notice a difference between no bar and a bar, however.

I agree with Brad. The difference with the STB is very hard to notice...I can't imagine noticing a difference between STB's.

See you Sunday Keith!

FYI the Neuspeed bars sell for about $100. STBs are not very expensive to manufacture. I just got back from SEMA and after seeing the prices for some of these bars, its amazing that some sell for as much as they do.

One manufacturer was selling their STBs for $26 (and this is an adjustable version too), just to get a refrence point of their profit margins on these things.

IMO, $20 goes to function, and anything you pay beyond that is for improved looks over a basic bar. Minimal to no handling differences between them all.

So I'd recommend buying either the nicest looking bar, or the cheapest bar depending on your tastes.
