Ok, I got my rsb today for 115 from cattman. I'm about to go do some driving without it now, and them I'm gonna put it on. I'll let you all know (for the billionth review) how it turns out. peace....

 

Test first, then post!

 

When did you order it and when did you recieve it.

I ordered mine yesterday and I was wondering when I could expect it.

 

I ordered mine last monday. I was told that it would not ship till either friday or monday, so I assume it was shipped friday. They were out of stock or something.



Anyway, for the review.

FSTB & RSB are the best bang for the buck mods you can do for suspension.

I went a little crazy driving around with a friend. I was doing about 70 down a small road, when a guy runs in the road out of nowhere. I swirved left then right to avoid incoming traffic and this thing handled like it was on rails. Not even did my tires squeak for a moment. I would not want to think what would have happened if I hadn't had my rsb installed.

High speed turning is greatly improved, the ride feels stable like a sports car. Very controlled suspension. Adding an rsb makes more of a difference than just changing your shocks. About a week ago after converting meccanoble's car to 5spd, I drove his car with fstb & rsb but with stock gle suspension. His car still took corners better than mine with kyb agx (stock springs). I had my agx on setting 4 too. Perhaps his 17' tires helped compared to my honeycomb rims. My only regret about this mod is that I wish I had gotten it sooner.

Installation took me about an hour, including jacking up the car, etc. I'm sure my second time I could do it in 45 mins. If anyone needs help installing theirs in queens, give me a shout.

 

Cool, I'm glad your happy with it... I guess i should expect mine shortly after i return home Sunday

You said you jacked the car up... aren't you supposed to install the RSB with the tires under load? Like on ramps...

 

Maybe you're right but I have never heard of installing the RSB with the tires under load. What is your source for this?

 

I was posing it as a question, not a suggestion.

I believe i read this on one of the many install pages, but now I can't find that exact one. I'm on vacation and I don't have my bookmarks with me. It might have only aplied to fifth gens to help isolate the scraping some have. Oh well... just ignore me.

 

Well, supposedly you shoudl do it with the car on ramps, but i was too lazy to take off my mudguards. I didn't have any problems or squeaks. I'll inspect it later tonight.

 

I also added my Addco RSB. Took an hour. I used ramps to be on the safer side.
Real easy to install, great results. Did a 30 mph 90 degree turn, whoa. Not as good as 300ZX but will do.
Ordered mine on 7/30, got it on 8/5, installed it 8/7.
Cattman is still honoring their $115 inc. shipping offer, so all of you n00b's like me, order and go to ebay and get that front strut.

 

I know this thread died, but I just got back in town, here is the link about using ramps so all of you know.
