WOW!! What a difference this RSB made for the handling. The stays flat around all the turns i've taken so far.( I haven't pushed that hard yet )

I am was already dropped on Tein-S techs which already helped the handling but this one mod makes all the difference. Much better than just lowering the car and upgrading the struts.

Here are some pics:

 

Whats all that blood on the ground????? Seemed like a deadly install .


or did I HAVE to much to drink?

 

RUSTED! just like mine

 

yeah it's alright...at least it works better then the fstb.

 

I have the same jackstands ... lol

 

that's probably the best buck you can spend for handling. Bar none.

 

Nice - what brand is it? Does it matter or there is something I have to look for in terms of quality? Where did you buy it? How much time it took you to put it on? And finaly - is it gonna work on stock suspension?

 

Read the title as well as the license plate . It does not take that long, and yes it will work on a stock suspension.

 

I just took my ADCO off for weight reduction. I think that pig is 17+ pounds! I did lots of tests with it on and I have since repeated the same tests with it off. I can't tell a difference. I can take the same on-ramps at the same speed without feeling body roll or hearing my tires screech. I think the number one thing we can do for handling is replacing your shocks/springs / lowering your car, installing +1, +2, +3 size tires and installing Z-Rated tires. Forget the FSTB and RASB.

 

I got it from this guy on ebay: neverenough2003
$135 shipped And here is a link to an auction for one

He also has the slightly more expensive Progress version. But I don't see how much better it can be.

It took me less than an hour to install and that includes the time it took me to find my jack stands and pull the jack out of my basement which was like 20 minutes. Anyone can do it as long as you have some tools.

And yah it will work on stock. I'm actually taking my Tein S-techs off tonight. Becuase I want the car to be back to stock height for the winter. I'm probably going to just sell these springs cuz they're a little too low for me. I might get H&R's in the spring.

 

I agree that the Addco is heavy but it definately helps in reducing body roll. I'm not really interested in weight reduction but I'm curious what Spring/Strut setup you have that reduced the body roll so much. I'm still searching for the perfect comfortable setup.

 

I took off my RSB a couple of times on my 4ht gen. My 4th gen has H&R's, AGX's, and Ben's rear shock mounts. When I took it off with my aftermarket suspension setup I did notice a difference, but this was when I was pushing the suspension pretty hard. In everyday driving the only difference I felt was that the ride quality of the car improved some, the rear suspension was a little more compliant over uneven surfaces.

 

You shouldn't take weight reduction lightly (pun intended). It helps with accelaration, handling, braking, gas mileage, etc. My set-up? I have tried Intrax springs/stock GLE shocks - much too rough of a ride. I tried H&R springs and Tokico shocks - decent handling, really good ride but the wheel gap is much too large. I combined what I had lying around and now I have, on my '99, Intrax springs and Tokico shocks. I am pretty happy. Wheel gap is nice (2-3 fingers all around), handling is great and ride is only a little rougher than I'd like (C+/B-). My '96 has stock SE shocks and H&R springs. Terrible ride (don't use A.M. springs with stock shocks) and large wheel gap but o.k. handling. So, I'm happy with my Intrax/Tokico. My Intrax are mega-old, they are the old purple ones from the 90's. Perhaps the newer Intrax are even better. ? Good luck.

 

Well said!

 

very nice...
