RSTB? Any difference

Looking at designing my current enclosure and curious does it make a difference in this car? in my last car it did, but looking to do a front and the sub frames soon will this be a worthwhile addition right now or should i let it go.

Nope, I have the RSTB and couldnt feel anything. I might do the sub frames and Lower tie bar from Matt Blehm. That for sure will do alot more stiffening of the chassis.

i can imagine this thing not really doing anything performance wize, but it still DOES stiffen up the chasis, my reason for wantin to try one of these out is too see if it can stop or limit the flexing you hear in the rear while driving or taking corners. Makes sense to think it would limit the noises the max makes....

I remember when i installed my FSTB it got rid of SOME not all...rattles and squeeks in the front, it was minimal, but it did something...

I remember you said you noticed a difference on the freeway didnt you? or are you guys just talking about my "theorum" of lessening the interior noise.?

when i put my rstb on, I can honestly say that I felt a difference immediately. It wasn't that big of a difference, but it was definitely there. It seems that no one else has had an experience similar to mine.

I had a fstb, h&r's prior to the rstb install. No RSB. After the rstb the car felt a bit tighter on the sharp corners.

you can justify it with harmonic reasons as well. Try hitting an installed bar with something heavy, you'll hear a nice deep whirrring hum.
