Does RSB help with coilovers?

I heard if your lower than 2 inches the RSB can hurt you more than help....I gave it a shot myself awhile back, and it "seemed" better...dunno if it was in my head though...

my car was around 3.5 inches/ 2.5 inches lowered from stock...front and rear respectively on ksports coilovers....I'm planning to raise the whole car...maybe in the ballpark of 2.5/1.5 from stock....will I need an RSB if I want to keep my handling since I'm going to be higher at 2.5/1.5?

also, would adding more preload on the rear coilovers make the car over steer more? I know our maximas already under steer alot naturally...would preloading the rears make us over steer...thus giving us a more neutral handling?

I heard RSB's help if your mildy dropped tho? I'm planning to go for a mild drop soon by raising up my coilovers...

I heard RSB only hurts you if your coilovers are real low....wutcha guys think

because there are all these stupid myth about RSB and mystical cases of the rear-end magically stepping out...when realistically most people jsut cant drive for crap.....1.) ur too low.....2.) IMO RSB gives me a predictable feel and improvment in cornering....my car has a fair amount of track time so it could just be my driving style so in all honesty it all depends on the driver....my best advice...buy it....run it for a while...if u dont like sell it...they are cheap
