Hey guys, ive been thinking about going with a drop soon. Im thinking of going w/ illuminas and progress springs or eibach springs, but thats beside the point. i know that a drop will help eliminate body roll (which i have had a close call with), but i want to know if i drop the max, will the RSB make that much of a difference? i dont want to waste $265 on the cattman GD if dropping my car is all i need to do to help with body roll. thanks.

 

RSB is not just for body roll. It's for helping to keep the rear wheels in contact with the pavement as well as helping with body roll...

 

Get yourself a sway bar, you wont regret it. I drove without one for over a year and a half since my car been dropped. Got the bar installed last week, I would definitely recommend it, even if your car has been dropped.

 

Nice thread , i was just starting to look
into a drop but was also looking to get a RSB.
Sounds like they enhance each other.

 

drop + RSB = GOOD COMBO!!!!

 

i used to only have rsb on my old 2k1 auto and now I only have a drop with the new 2k1 5spd. Its not the same, I miss the rsb... need to get done with finals to put it on

 

RSB is the first mod you should do to a maxima. It makes an immediate and HUGE difference in handling....BTW how are you spending 265 on the Cattman RSB?...they go for around $100. I paid a little over 200 for my Stillen RSB, but the Cattman/Addco/Progress RSBs should be about half that.

 

I'm running Progress and Illuminas and love the combo. It's a low even drop and the ride is still near stock on 2F/3R. I'm dumbfounded why they aren't a more popular choice. The Eibachs would offer better handling, but the less noticable drop and stiff ride turned me off. You may also want to look at H-techs. They're quickly gaining popularity and offer a great looking even drop.

Definately get a RSB. I still feel a fair amount of body roll on the corners with my drop unless I crank the Illuminas up to 3 or 4. Don't get me wrong, the roll is reduced significantly, but I still plan to get the RSB to clear up the remaining roll.

 

the rear sway bar is a great mod for the money but you don't have to buy an expensive one. They all do about the same thing. I've had my Addcco for about 2 years and no problems. I think I got if for around $100.

 

thanks for all of the replies guys. im not buying a RSB for $265, it was with a FSTB too, but im starting to see that alot of you guys have a progress RSB with some other brand of FSTB, so it seems ok to me. thanks for all of the help.
