OK - the STB arrived (factory one) and when I saw how little to it
there is (just two bolts on each side) I didn't expect much, but I'd
estimate that it reduced cowl shake by more than 50%....fewer
rattles.....gives the car a more solid feel, and is all that's needed
for m kind of driving.

I agree that it should be standard equipment.........and I can't believe
that all those magazines wrote that they were impressed that the new
model had no cowl shake ----- they sure must have been paid plenty. Oh
well, wasn't Vega Care of the Year?
