FSB or Strut Brace?
The FSB is supposedly a stone cold bitch to get to and replace.

Wrong...
TL-S:
51300-SEP-A21
TL:
51300-SEP-A01
The FSB for the TL-S solid, thus firmer... but you are correct about that stone cold bitch part. You have to drop the subframe to get it out.
I don't think anyones ever tried to replace it before.
Actros tried, and ended up removing the FSB completely... on a FWD car, it's actually the preffered handing setup. STIIF RSB with little to no FSB.

^If your subframe was droppped, would you do it? I assume they put a firmer FSB because the 3.5 weighs more. Would it be beneficial with added weight of the s/c? The only reason I ask is I am replacing my clutch in the near future. I also plan on putting in the motor mounts in at the same time.

The only reason I ask is I am replacing my clutch in the near future and my subframe and will be dropped in the process. I also plan on putting in the motor mounts in at the same time.

Oops! Missed that. Should've just checked the New Release specs.
Good catch - thanks.

If you plan to autocross... No.
If you plan for the occassional twisty, but mainly highway, AND have installed the rear Progress, sure.
