Can you explain what you mean by "harmful to the body roll diminished by the FSTB"? It sounds like what you're saying is the bar will be adding more roll. Just need a little clarification.
I found out that adding the front sway bar can actually reintroduce the understeer that the FSTB fixes. So I guess that's what lovemyvq was trying to say. I still don't think an SE-R FSB would hurt it though.

That's the second time I've heard that exact quote. I'm quite sure it came from the same source. Do you have any idea where I can find where that info was posted. I'm interested in what that persons setup is that came up with that theory. Is it not something a decent set of tires could offset?

I read it over on Nissan Club. I'll see if I can dig it back up. I'm sure some tires that are a little wider than stock and grippy would definitely fix the problem.

There are also many posts on how people liked it though. But they had aftermarket wheels and wider tires, so I really do think that is the key part to it.
