I have it and YES it is a HUGE improvement in my opinion. Car feels much tighter in the turns and through the twistys. Everyone that has ridden in it pre-rsb has also noticed the difference. A few people commented on it feeling way tighter / stiffer and they didnt even know that I had installed the RSB. Feels much more like a true sports sedan now. Just be careful when installing it - my dealership had a hell of a time with it and had to call Stillen to walk them through it. VERY HAPPY with the purchase...

WTF! Your dealership had a hard time with it!?? What kind of knuckleheads have they got working there?

I put the Stillen bar on my car last weekend. It was a straight bolt on, using a 14mm socket and a ratchet wrench. I took my time and it still only took about 45 mins to install. No brag, but it was the easiest mod I have done to my car so far.

The dealer really had to call Stillen, huh?

I ordered mine right from Stillen. Cost $159.00 plus $18 for shipping.

You might find it cheaper shopping around.

Problem my guys had was that the bar was hitting the trailing arm. Said they finally figured it out by putting bigger spacers in or something. LOL anyway it works now Got mine from Stillen directly from Stillen as well.

They were probably trying to put it on upside down!
