depends on what you are looking for. if its worth 250 for a FSB, i think so since the alternatives are 400+. but if you want best performance and dont care about price, then i would go with VRT or ARC.

depends on how cheap you are. there are many reviews out there on how it performs, but by no means is it the best.

I think its more for the looks. The bar doesnt really help much and it flexs. If u want to look different and have the money then go for it.

i thought it was worth every penny. it stiffened up the front end and reduced the flex goin over speed bumps and such. I can tell a little because I used to hear creaks, but not they're gone. it has reduced rattling some too. maybe it's a placebo effect. i'm still happy with it.

People who have installed the bar like and say they notice a definate improvement. Check through the thread for people who have it instead of people guessing and dissing it but don't own it.

For the money if you want looks and performance I would say yes. For all performance you are way better off with sway bars. I got one and am 100% happy with it.
