Mine just got the FSB installed. The installation is messive to put the bar in.

Furthermore need to "patch" it to prevent knocking sound to Chassis serial no. See picture below.



After installation, feel the front suspension works better. Haven't experience it on Highspeed and corners.

hi to all members... a noob here, got a question to ask...

currently driving Honda City (2006) with UR FSB and UR ARB installed. Will get my FD2 FL in a couple of weeks (end of Oct 09),can't wait! With the FSB and ARB installed on my City, handling is better especially while tackling corners. the only downside (at least on my City) is that the steering feels heavier while turning (could be due to UR FSB). this is common for Honda Citys as i found out in other forums.

Planning of installing UR ARB only for my future FD2 since all the sifus here mentioned that's the best route to venture.

Searched thru this thread and no one mentioned about this (steering wheel feel) so i'm going to ask one.

1. Will installing UR ARB have any -ve effects on the steering comfort level? i.e. does it get heavier? or does it still remain the same?

any bros out there that can share their experiences is greatly appreciated.

I've installed UR ARB 16mm. As for steering effects, i felt no -ve effects maybe due to electronic power steering (FD2). Wink

However, it does feels like the rear end of my FD felt a bit stiffer which lead to a pinch of discomfort. But this can be neglected easily as the handling felt way much better! Wink

bro 3ple2s

many thanks for ur reply Razz . FYI, City (06) does also hv EPS (but inferior to Civic's). Will order the UR ARB a.s.a.p so that it can be fitted when my ride arrives.

thanks again n any other experience-sharing bros are welcome.[/quote]

Fitted UR FSB and rear 16mm ARB last weekend. Immediately feel the improvement when taking corner. Use the aircon piping insulation foam (black color tube) to cover the FSB to minimize vibration or squeaking sound in case it touches the bar metal body.
