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.

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.

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?
