Rstb??

I'm thinking about getting a cheap RSTB. Some say it's pointless, while other's do not. Will I feel any difference w/ this or will it be a waste of money. Also, where would be the cheapest place to find one, E-bay seems to only be selling the front one for our vehicles?

I once asked the same question a long time ago.

I was told by reputable members of this forum that the RSTB is really not necessary unless you're planning on autoX'ing.

Installing a fstb and a rsb should be sufficient.

I've got the courtesy FSTB and the Addco RSB and the results are
extremely pleasing

Rear Sway Bar first!(RSB) You will feel an immediate difference. fstb is a more subtle difference. Yes it helps, but it's results are as noticable.

I too was considering this, but from what I've read here on the org, everyone says, no difference at all.

Since you already have a RSB and FSTB, I don't see a street need for the RSTB. But on the other hand, if you are made of money, and Christmas shoppong hasn't busted you yet, go ahead and get one. Then you can let us know what you think of it.

I had the RSTB installed recently...bought it from http://www.rvmracing.com . I can feel the difference after installing the bar (I had the stillen FSTB/RSB prior). The overall suspension feel stiffer now. The steering is much tighter! IMO, it's worth the investment. If you decide to purchase, do mention that you are maxima.org member for the discount. The installation was not as easily done as the FSTB due to the location of the rear struts. I am in the process of purchasing the SFC's from warpspeedperformance. I'll posted the results once I have it installed. Good luck.
