Holy shit, I almost fell off my chair when I read the title for this thread. I noticed this for the first time this morning too. It was hard to steer and hard to keep it tracking straight. I was just gonna post about this. It seems better now that it warmed up tho.

lol thats pretty funny. after like 10mins the power steering fluid warms up though and it goes back to normal .. other than that did the car feel better with the STB? I was thinking of buying this and was wondering what other people thought of it. Worth the 300$???

I noticed the same thing, then I ran the car up to like 100mph and it was doing good. The clutch felt funny as well, probably just the cold. It read 22F out when I got in, then 15F after the 100mph run. The car was warmed up for 5mins before moving the car, in case someone said I didn't let it warm up.

Well I bought the bar used, is it worth it, well I cant really tell that much yet, but I do feel a difference around the cornors and feel of the stering! so if you have the $$ to burn than get it, but if not its no biggie, but it does look really good under the hood
