Strano Front SB Just a heads up fellas. I finally got back to working on the T/A, and I just finished installing Sam's FSB. What a difference! I'm amazed really. Like different car. It did firm the ride up a little, but it's going around curves where Sam's bar is really making a difference. It feels like a monorail. Amazing! Highly recommended.
It wasn't all that easy to install though, for me. I had a tough time getting the bracket bolts back in (they wanted to cross-thread). Also, the bolt holes in Sam's brackets need to be a little bigger. And before I thought of jacking up the a-arms to help installing the end links, I cut about 3/8" off the end link sleeves so I could thread on the nuts. It hasn't caused a problem, but it's probably better to jack on the a-arms instead of shortening the sleeves.
Sam's front sway bar--great mod!!

I just did some reading on some other threads about that FSB. Sounds like an awesome mod that I'd really enjoy. I'm thinkin it's my next purchase after my shocks. Good to see another happy person. Makes me have no doubt about purchasing one from Sam Strano.

And yes, shocks and Strano's FSB are probably the best two suspension mods you could do. I'd see what Sam has to say about what shocks you should get.
Good luck!

Just for anyone who might read this post in the future, looking for install help, the key is to get ALL the bracket bolts started before tackling the end links. If you install the endlinks first, the bracket bolts won't go in straight.
FiredUpZ28, you could have a great handling setup with the 35mm Strano FSB and keeping the stock 19mm RSB.

I drove the car up on Rhino ramps and had no problems at all with the install. Other than the very slight issue with the brackets, it's was easy as pie. I love Sam's products and service.
