dunno bout that

well if u use a hoist to jack it up, u won't b able to jacke it up using the suspension components ne more. u can still use the factory jack points tho.. but i heard u get oversteer instead of understeer after the rsb installation.

well u can jack at the suspension..just not at the bar i think.
the fwd have a tendency to understeer in turns...so to offset that...RSB will add oversteer...but not to the point that's dangerous...just a little more balanced feel.

Re: hmmm

Well, what about when I go to the dealer and they use a lift for the car, would the RSB cause any probs with that?
It would not void the warranty or anything, right?

You're gonna have no problems w/ the dealer lifting your car up w/ the RSB. They don't jack the car up by the suspension

block-O-wood helps a lot on the jacking...i have no problems with my friend's lowered car w/ the RSB.

you can drift a lot of cars w/o e-brake..heehee..just how hard u want to rip up your tires.

The only bad handling affect is that the rear end is a little more nervous when cornering on bumpy roads. There's less independence back there with the RSB, so you'd expect that. I had to disconnect my ADDCO RSB (had a broken bracket) for a few weeks and noticed this...still, when I hooked it back up, the handling improvement outweighed the increased nervousness.
