Bilstein Steering Stabilizer/Damper
Opinions? Anyone ever used it as opposed to the Safe-T-Plus? Or is it even in the same classification?

You're better off spending the money on shocks, alignment and tightening steering components. Of all the suspension components you can add, the steering stabilizer is the least useful. Many will disagree, but human nature dictates that very few will admit that they bought a product that doesn't work.
I installed the Safe-T-Plus on my previous coach (05 Diploma) and really disliked the added stiffness to the steering, which made the drive more tiresome. I sold the unit and chalked up the loss to stuff that didn't work.
Wow...that's the first honest opinion I've read. I assumed what you said would be true, but not having ever driven a coach with one installed I had to go on the posts of others who apparently had really bad handling coaches. Thanks for posting this!! It'll definitely save me some duckies... LOL!
