The "enjoyable feeling" you describe is better known as more balanced handling. Why have your front whells doing all the work? And if it feels like the back end is going to break loose when cornering with the RSB, I'll bet you're going through that coner considerably faster than you ever could without the RSB.

I have the RSB from Stillen and it by far the best mod I have done. You really should have a front strut bar also to tighten up the steering, but the sway bar makes it handle like a different car (better). No more loose wobbly body motions.

If you get the adjustable Stillen just be carefull esp if you slide the bar under or in front of the rear beam. It'll want to swap ends a lot easier in slippery conditions. It's not uncontrollable or anything but you have to be able to catch it quickly. I left mine just behind the rear beam and it seems to be better off there for 90% of my driving...

I've had my Progress RSB on stock suspension for a couple of months now. It's so much more fun to take corners now. When I first got it, I thought it might cause too much oversteer in certain situations. My experience so far has been perfectly neutral handling--not a hint of oversteer or understeer. No, I don't do autocross or anything of that nature, but I do drive pretty aggressively. Some people complain of a harsher ride, but I haven't noticed any difference on the stock suspension.

The ride will be worse over uneven bumps... it's not very good to begin with (thanks beam axle) but it will get noticeably worse. On the highway and normal roads you won't notice a thing. The car will oversteer at the limit also, I highly recommend finding this out on a track before you do on the street... I had heard it but it happened to me first in the rain while turning over a bump in the road. Learned to control it in autocross.

Biggest bang for the buck for handling mod on 4th gen max. $110 from Cattman. Installation takes an hour-for a monkey.
Just Do It!
