Another Progress RSB Review
. . .and I love it! My struts have 130k on them so all my body motions are exaggerated, and the sway bar totally ixnayed it! with this many miles on the oem shocks I can tell easily just HOW effective this mod is. DO NOT listen to anyone saying it's not that great, because i would have to say this is the SINGLE most cost-effective handling mod you can possibly do for our cars.
It should have taken me way less time to install it, but if you check out the how-to, and don't BS around it'll take you maybe half an hour to install. fitment-wise, it bolts in great, but you need to remove the ABS sensor wire brackets and unbolt the parking brake lines temporarily. you can bolt the parking brake stuff back on, just a little bracket bending and it's fine, and I had to zip-tie the ABS line(i don't know if this was part of the instructions, but it seemed logical and I was referring to the How-To from memory)
I just think it needs to be said again about this. There's tons of reposts out there so i apologize, this is just more about how happy I am with the money spent:improvement ratio.

you need to pay attention to the more important struts before getting a RSB. the RSB is good if your struts are good. if they are bad,they need to be replaced first.
additionally, the RSB is decent with stock suspension but WAY better on a lowered car. you need to use all the suspension mods together.

. . .and this is why I have Eibachs and Illuminas camping out in my living room atm. I'm just saying, you can't beat the improvement the RSB makes per $ spent. I'm not just going to leave it alone. . .I have the mod bug :P

SFC's...SFC's SFC's are the best mod for handling and solidity available for our cars. I am ready to debate this point with anyone.
