Will extra weight of STB conflict with ET improvement?

Hey all,
I just need a quick answer. My wife and I are expecting another child and I want to get one last mod into the car. I didn't get the MT Drag radials but got the BFG drag radials instead, also I will be ordering BMR subframe connectors.
I just spent 2 hours on the search reading different post and opinions...one guys says that the STB isn't worth the money, another guy says that the STB + the SFC is a great combo. I like the opinion of the second guy, but I was just wondering would the added weight of the STB cancel out any improvements in ET reduction and performance.
Thanks,

Tim

A STB is around 5 lbs. Nothing to worry about.

Consider though your car doesnt have a strut suspension, you have unequal length A-arms. These cars really don't benefit a whole lot from an STB, compared to things like a better swaybar.
