Do a search for CP Racing on this site.... you should come up with a couple threads on their stuff. I have the front triangulated STB for the s14 and I can tell you it is the BEST for the money! I still have stock springs that are soft as all heck.. but now I can actually feel the suspension do its job instead of the chassis flexing under strain. The front is stiff and the steering response is very dynamic. It makes a phenomenal difference over stock and a noticeable difference of any other STB I've even seen or experienced on a 240. It's one solid unit, no hinges or joints to allow flexibility. It's truly awesome.

CP Racing. The owner is a very cool guy and their customer service is killer. The bars were at my door within a week and the fit was perfect. I will be nice and warn you though... if you have an s14 with ABS you will have to relocate the ABS actuator about an inch to the left. Basically you can get away with unscrewing it... but I made an aluminum plate to screw it back down.

It was well worth the trouble... this STB is great.
