Show off FRC's with which STB?
 
Which STB shows off the FRC's the best?

I did a search but not much with pictures of both together

Please post pics if you can

Re: Show off FRC's with which STB?
 
The Hotchkis bar is my favorite.. bends back out of the way and gives a good place to ancor things like throttle cables and fule lines (too keep them from rubbing the FRC's)

an example:

Re: Show off FRC's with which STB?
 
True, Hotchkis looks great as shown by Captain Bling above, ...
But I wouldn't recommend the SLP simply because it's a bit too low & will rub on the FRC's when mounted. (Been there, tried that, ...)
I now have the BMR & it gives about 1/4"-1/2" clearance under it away from the FRC's.
Good Luck!

I liked my Hotchkis STB as well. There's a pic in my sig. It pales (sp?) in comparison to Steve's however.

Nice how did you get the intake hoses red or did they come like that. I got one that is blue but ide really like it to be red.

Hotchkis

Ok I have one question to ask? Is a STB just a big pain in the ass for when you need to turn a wrench in the engine bay or does it actually provide some enhancement to the car besides looks?

Doesn't get in my way. It actually kind of gives me somethin to hold onto when working under the hood

Hotchkis here, they make a polished aluminum one that looks really good too...

*EDIT i just noticed this thread is from 2003 :eek2:

Its supposed to offer strength, but as with some other suspension components like that (SFCs for example) people argue the point behind having them is purely a mental thing.

Blakbird24 Jun 25, 2007 11:44 AM

Well it certainly can't hurt. Not to mention it looks cool. The only thing I can say is that when I installed mine, I had no suspension mods whatsoever and it seemed to improve turn-in. It seemed like I could turn instantaneously, as opposed to before the brace when there was a very slight delay between when i turned the wheel and the car reacted.

Could all be psychological. I don't really care truthfully.

The bolts/washers are chrome and came from Hillco out in Cali.
