Hey quick, Q... installed my GTSPEC FSTB last night!
Problem:
I couldn't tighten the Allen wrench portion of the vertical adjustment bolts that secure the brace bar to the mounts.... anyone know what size allen wrench these bolts take?
It was a lot bigger than my standard 1/4 Allen, is it more like a 5/16th or bigger?
Here is a link to the bolt I'm talking about.

I need to go to the store and buy an allen wrench big enough to torque it down a little bit more than just my hand tightening method.
Initial impressions of FSTB:
Much better front handling when going around corners at higher speeds (30 mph +) is where you really notice the difference, and I only have the FSTB. Seems like the front is planted, I'm thinking about getting the tanabe front sway bar and ditching the Stillen front sway bar. I think the Stillen was/is good over stock but not stiff enough for my liking.
thanks!

Here's the Allen / Hex bit socket that I use:

But this one should work too:

No tune yet.. Unfortunately the tuner I was going to never was able to rear my ECU, so I'm gonna try a different tuner this week and see if they have any more luck with it. Thanks for asking, though.
