SHOULD take you about an hour and a half tops... (Took me 2 hours cuase i didn't have the right stuff)

Make your life easier and get jack stands, jack, blocks, and good set of torque wrench. Pretty easy just make sure you don't kill yourself and make the car secure.

Do a dry fit first before jacking the car up. If anything is missing you can go to the hardware store. A few months ago, my Cattman RSB came with 4 wrong size washers (too small).

What are the general benefits of the RSB?

More roll stiffness in the rear. That takes away some of the tendency to understeer. So it allows better polar rotation instead of plowing. It is one of the best things you can do to these cars.
