RSB on 02' Max, necessary?

I ordered the RSB from "Stealin" for my 02' and realized that I have a "solid axle?". Will this add additional rigidity to the rear of the car? Or is it just overkill? I can send it back for exhaust

We all have solid beam axels and the RSBs make a very surprising difference. Get one!

Thanks for the advice. If only I would have asked everyone about the HF Intake before I bought!

RSB ties together the control arms on the sides. The difference it makes is very noticeable.... GET RSB

the RSB has nothing to do with adding more 'rigidity'...it's about adding more 'stability' so you can corner flatter.

OK, you can corner flatter.

Is that it - everything about it is an improvement? No downsides to it, other than the nominal price? Nothing gets worse than before? Not less comfortable?

Just asking
