I'm thinking the same thing! I have heard that the addco one makes a popping sound... true or false?

RSB is definitely a worth-it mod. IMHO, it's more important then FSTB.

Theblue, I have had it on my car for a year and a half now - no poping sound, no squeaking either.

RSB

I have the ADDCO RSB from Cattman. No popping sound here!! Maybe the popping ones weren't installed right. Usually, the instructions that come with these addons leaves a whole lot to be desired. Before I intalled my RSB, and CAI for that matter, I downloded PICs and FAQs from the web to make sure I got it right. The PICS REALLY REALLY helped alot.


The RSB comes with urethane bushings now, not optionally as before. Also, the bushings are cut so you can more easiliy place them on the RSB. None of that squeezing the bushings onto the end and around the bends.

Oh yeah

How has the RSB helped?? Well, you know those long sweeping corners you approach and speed, and the tail deosn't feel as planted as you'd like?? Gone. I go into corners on the strength now. Of course I can go in too hot now, and the RSB changes your car so that it oversteers more, which is a good thing.

RSB definetly worth it. Picture this, you're racing an Integra down this long strip of road and of course you're beatin the hell out of it .....perhaps, and all the sudden you come up to a well rounded corner . You slow down dramatically in order to keep from flying off the side of the road, while the Integra speeds by you laughing cause you don't have a Stillen/Addco RSB which would've enabled you to take the corner as he/she did! Maybe a lil' corny, but you get the point. The RSB is a must. BOTTOM LINE.

The RSB is worth every penny. And the FAQ's instructions are much better than the faded 1 page "guide" ADDCO provided.
