Does anyone know when this will be available? I just saw this in a catalog...

 

hmmm is was just looking for a STB....keep me posted also.

CEO

 

well my next option is the TRD for 192.00 on ebay.. Not a bad price for great product... The Tei n was going MSRP for 145.00 i beleive... But that seems a bit low considering there products are pretty expensive.. I contacted TEin so hopefully I'll hear from them..

 

I have been waiting for this for a LONG time. Let us know what you hear.

 

Well someone from Tein usa called me today and left a mesage saying that the STB will be ariving in june.. and they will be updating there website with the new products so we can order them.. Depending on the price this maybe a inexpensive way to go for a decent STB..

Can anyone find a UGO front STB or knows who carries them?

 

Good luck with the UGO. They dont make em anymore and not many are around. I only know of 3-4 guys with them. I will wait for the Tein. Should be priced good. Thanks for the update.

 

Yea I'm going to wait for the Tein also... Keep me posted...

 

Dont forget the TRD strut bar isnt compatible with the EDFC for your Tein CS.

 

Tony, have you considered the Carson Tuned STB? It will clear your engine cover and EDFC.

 

Terry i thought of that one yesterday as i was surfing CL.. I don't think they will be in for a few weeks and the guys that already put the orders in have first dibs..So hopefully Carson will have enough in stock... and yes that is another option..

There's so many choices... RMM, TRD, Tein , Carson STB, DSR...etc.. just can't decide... When i first got on CL the RMM really caught my eye...

Whats your opinion Terry...

 

I think the STB's are a decent addition to the car - looks and some improvement in stiffness, but for my money the Tom's Front LCB had a more positive affect on the steering and handling. I had the Tom's front LCB installed before I received my DSR front STB. I did not really notice much difference when I installed the DSR STB.

Looks wise the RMM looks real good, probably the best IMO.

I will be changing out my DSR STB when the Carson Tuned STB is available. I'm only doing this because the DSR bar was 'banged-up' from shipping and I was offered the trade-out with the new Carson Tuned STB. I will jump on this. From a performance standpoint the TRD should be a good STB since it is one piece, thus no bolted joints - less flex potentially ( I say potentially since other factors will affect stiffness ). Downside of the TRD is that it is not compatible with the Tein EDFC. I like the new Carson Tuned design since it does not have bolted joints and allows Tein EDFC ( something I need ).

IMO - looks RMM, performance with EDFC installed - Carson Tuned ( in chrome of course! )

 

Thanks Terry, Thats a great write up..
