RSB question
I am planning on putting on an RSB.
I have question. If I drive over a speed bump with one side, but not the other, what happens?
The RSB would restrict the beam from turning, but could that cause rear suspension damage?

If the FSTB is good... then the RSB is great!

Makes the car so much more planted. Gets rid of some of that nasty body roll.

And I've driven over plently of speedbumps. You'll definately feel the rear come down with you go over that speed bump, but it won't damage it. Unless you plan to go over the speed bumps at like 70 mph or something.

Get the RSB... you won't be sorry.

What about just one rear wheel going over a speed bump?
Wouldn't that twist the bar?
BTW, I called shox.com, still waiting for them to call back.

Re: What about just one rear wheel going over a speed bump?
Nope. I have speed bumps at my school and at my friends gated community. I usually go over with one wheel. The Addco one tucks right under the rear beam. And the Stillen one rests pretty close to it as well. Unless you're completely slammed, you should have no problems going over with one wheel.

I've also ridden in a 5th gen with an Eibach drop. He has an Addco RSB and no problems yet.

And it's about $120 from Shox.com.

I just installed my RSB from stillen today. It is nice and even better, it was free. I won it in the raffel at stillen's maxima day. My question is, how does it effect the performance of the bar when you move it foward or backward? The directions said to place it according to your taste. Stillen said they placed it right under the rear axle. When I got done with mine it was slightly behind the rear axle.

The FSTB looks really easy to install. Is the RSB harder to install? How much is involved there? thanks.

You just need either two jacks or wheelramps. I prefered the wheelramp way. I installed three Addco RSBs and two were lowered. Mine was the only one that wasn't. And the two times I used the wheelramps, it was alot easier to slide in and out from underneath the car.

And it helps if there are two people doing the install. It's not hard to do, you're just doing everything upwards and that can be sort of tiring on the arms.
