Well, I am now considering a front strut tower bar. Since the rear pne eats into trunk space, that one has been ruled out for now.

With the Tein CS setup, and daizen sways (front and rear), and 19" rims, I am trying to understand what simply a front STB will add to my driving experience, besides simply more stiffness over speed bumps.

Will I get less body roll with just a front STB? Or will I get less wheel hop with just a front STB? Will I lose a little more ride comfort with just a front STB? Do I gain quick lane change control with only a front STB? I don't mind adding stiffness, but since I am on the east coast with crappy roads, I need that stiffness to payoff in everyday real world driving (not just payoff when you're at the racetrack or autocrossing, which I never plan to do).

I guess, my other question is if its worth doing just this mod, or should it really be done with all the braces and such (i.e. Tom's 6-peice)?

Thanks in advance.

 

Yes....front stb is well worth it....stiffens up the entire front end....i definitely recommend it.

to me it's ok, maybe coz' i already have all the other stiffening on the chassis. the stb helps, but not drastically

 

Did you hear? Steve Ganz is developing one to fit all 2nd gen. GS300/400/430 with engine cover and edfc.

The other thread says rollout is sometime in November.

No, havent heard yet. But thanks.

 

Any update on the development?
