GrandAmSE Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I was at the junk yard today and did I see a cutty vert. The hood latch was busted so I had to cut around it. But long stories short I have a new STB. What it supposed to do? I cant really feel a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 on a convertable it is suppsed to make the vert stiffer. since you have it in a hardtop, which is much stiffer than a vert, the effect is minimal. I would describe it as helping prevent body flex during hard cornering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 It makes a big difference, I've noticed. In turns, there is much less front end body roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuntzie Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 It makes a big difference, I've noticed. In turns, there is much less front end body roll. x2 i just gotta get the rear one now as it feels like a loose canon back there (comparably) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 it made the front end of my car feel alot more solid, if you can't notice a adifference i might sugest that your front struts are shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed a huge difference, and my front struts are garbage well not quite the same, he is talking about on a sedan and not a vert. besides... without the STB on, did you have regular plates on or were caps not even bolted on? and even if you stuck the nuts onto the studs, without the caps, the struts would be disabled because nothing prevents them from coming up out of place until the hood stops them, a potential 2 inches of play... That more than anything may have made your ride handle like $%!#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
