I personally couldn't feel a difference whatso ever. Some people say they can other's say they can't. I think it has more to do with how your car is, i.e does it have high miles or is it praticly(sp) brand new and still tight and also how hard it's been driven.

I personally would buy a cheaper one, I bought mine off eBay real cheap. I think it's a BMR one but I'm not sure to be honest.

Matt's right though, the Chicago area roads are HORRIBLE. Which really pisses me off because less then two miles into IL and I have to pay a $1.50 toll. WI has no tolls and our roads are 100 times better. This could be another reason I didn't feel a difference.

u drive 2 miles? why go on the tollroad then?

If its anything like the area here, EVERYTHING is connected by the highways.

I dont think WI roads are bad at all... Minnesota is horrible. Everywhere I go, I swear my rims are going to turn into hexagons before I leave this state.

No I'm saying the toll is right after you enter IL. You pass the welcome to IL sign then you get the pay us for entering IL one.

all the roads around here are shity as hell the only nice road is I-81 and parts of route 924 thats the only places its not coverent it potholes. my ride to school theres a 3 mile strech on 924 that is nothin but potholes everywhere the whole way im definatly taking the interstate to school when i bring the car back out even though it takes longer on the interstate. and the rest of the roads are just a mess from the coal breakers the trucks goin in and out of there all day make it a ****** mess

Bernotas05 02-01-2006 11:34 PM

Yeah i may have exagerated a bit on the wisonsin road conditions.....Personally I think the roads in Minneapolis/st.paul are way worse!!:banghead:

Well I just got my STB today, Im gonna go pick it up right after I post this, but I had an idea for it. Some of you may know that I bought a couple decals a while ago one for my interior, so I have one left over. These are 1" tall and 12" wide, so I was thinking I may put one of these on the center of my STB. Im just wondering if you guys think it will stick? Im assuming it would, but just wondering if anyones done it, or knows if it will stay?
