Some people say RSTB does something, most say it doesn't.

If you put it on before the RSB, you'll probably feel very very little improvement.

I just added an RSTB to my 95SE. Suspension mods I already had include: FSTB, RSB, Eibach springs, Tokico struts and 16" aftermarket wheels.

I definitely noticed a difference in the way the car handled that can only be attributed to the RSTB. The rear does roll less in turns and there is less dip toward the outside front wheel...as if the rear is behaving better and not throwing it's weight forward as much.

If I noticed a difference after adding the RSTB to my car even with all my previous mods, I would expect you would notice a difference in your mostly stock car.

Email me and I'll send you a pic of it. I had it installed by a shop but it is as easy to install as the FSTB although you do have to cut notch the carpet. It runs very close to the back of the rear seat and does not invade the trunk much at all. However, if you plan to put a sub box in your trunk you will need to allow room for the RSTB.
