RSB and snow
#1
I really want to get the RSB but remember reading something on this forum about the bar decreasing wet weather handling when compared to the stock setup. Can anyone shed some further enlightenment on this matter??
Thanks,

You will be able to have the rear end of the car swing out easier in wet weather with the RSB. I have been able to swing it out on purpose a few times just for fun when the roads were slick. The RSB will give you more neutral handling so you may have to watch out for conditions like that. But, much of it can probably be attributed to the tires also. I have the stock potenzas that are really horrible in wet weather. They, no doubt, have somehting to do with it also.

Assuming that I am driving cautiously in wet weather and not exceeding the speed limit are you saying that the car still has a tendency to swing out?

Right on!! This past winter here in NY was terrible, and it was one of the big reason's why I got rid of my old sporty car. It was the combination of all around sportiness that got me hooked on the maxima and new that it was a lot heavier than my ford probe gt, which would prove beneficial in winter(hopefully this is true, but the car hasn't been driven in snow yet). My ford got me stranded a couple of times in these recent bad snow storms. According to the others, it seems as though the RSB should not have too bad of a decrease in handling effect. Go for it!!! I already have a stillen fstb and love every minute of it.

Promptly bought up four Toyo T1-S Proxies [/B][/QUOTE]
For VeggieH8R:
Sorry for offtopic but how do you find dry handling with those T1-Ss? I had my installed couple months ago and suddenly have the feeling that my shocks went bad/or I just need new ones - the car became "shaky" for my taste.
BTW, I have them in stock size which is 16" for my 2kGLE.

No. Only in extreme situations will it maybe swing out. Even then, you have to try to do that....I don't think the RSB will have any significant negative effects in poor weather......so go ahead, get it

I would not worry about the RSB in winter. However I would highly recommend winter tires/rims. With good winter tires you will rip through the snow rsb or not.
