RY Y pipe & RSB

About to pull the trigger on a RL Y pipe + RSB, $461 shipped.

Anyone know of a discount code for RL?

Thanks in advance.

I thought there was a shipping discount code but I may be wrong. Search the threads and maybe you'll find one. Good luck w it!

I think the shipping code expired around the first of the year but you may be able to contact them for a bit of a discount since you're buying two items at once. Btw, great choice! You will love them both

The shipping code expired. Pulled the trigger this morning. $453 shipped.
Do you have the RSB? of so, which adjustment are you using? I'm thinking max stiffness unless anyone warns me otherwise.....?

Yes I do have the rsb. I decided not to go with the max setting as I won't be tracking the car so it's not needed. I didn't get new rear endlinks and with the superior stiffness on the higher setting it may be possible to snap my oem endlinks so I opted for the lesser setting. Either way it's a dramatic improvement.

If you do plan on going with the higher setting, get the upgraded end links.

Yeah I have the upgrade endlinks with the rsb and still didn't go with the stiffest settings. This may change of I decide to lower my car in the near future

Based on everyone's feedback, I will NOT go with the stiffest settings.
Thanks all!

The 'soft' setting is a 50% increase in stiffness. The hard setting is a 100% increase, or double the factory bar.

I run mine on the soft setting at there is noticeable, night and day difference. I may try the other setting at some point, but I'm happy with the way it feels as is.

How are you guys installing the Poly bushings? I used the small packet of grease included with the RSB and it worked well for 3-4 months but now its squeaking/creaking. Gets worse when the weather is cold or wet. some people online have suggested wrapping the RSB with teflon plumbers tape before installing the bushings? Has anyone tried this? What kind of grease works best for Poly bushings?

IMO, that is the bars only downside. There are no grease fittings on them.
Any poly bushing in that application needs grease on a regular basis.

Would going back to the stock bushings quiet things down? I'm having the same issue with poly bushings, it's pretty annoying

Do the stock rubber bushings fit ok? Isn't the RL RSB thicker than stock? Also, rubber bushings don't require any grease right?
