HI All, I have been trying to get some info on ordering a RSB from RL. To date I have not received a reply from RL. Does anyone know the difference in diameter of the stock RSB to the RL RSB? Everyone talks about how much better the car handles with the RL bar, but no one mentions the specs on the bars.
Also, is it true that when changing out the RSB and/or Springs, that you should change your endlinks because the stock setup might not be able to handle the stress?

 

On springs I don't think you will have any issues depending how old your car is. If you were on coilovers I would suggest upgrading the end links. If you plan on keeping the car a while, I don't see why you wouldn't want to upgrade the end links just so you can have a better suspension setup.

I don't know the specs on the RSB but i have it and I can vouch that you will feel it.

 

If you are going to use the "track" setting on the RSM, you might want to use order the RL end links as well since this setting might be too aggressive for the OEM end links.
Just swapped out to the RL RSB and kept the OEM end links and used the "street" setting on the bar. Just bought the car brand new last October so I knew the end links were in great shape. If my car had some mileage on it, I probably would have replaced the end links as well just to be safe...

 

If your car is lowered and you are on stiffer springs, the forces in the endlinks will be less. The force is developed in the endlinks as the car "rolls". If you are lower and the springs are stiffer, the car rolls less, therefore reducing the force in the endlinks and the torsion on the RSB.

I am not lowered, but when I installed the RL RSB i switched the endlinks to the MOOG links. The MOOG links are factory replacements, but they are much beefier than the OEM links. I think they were ~$20 each.

The only time the RL endlinks would give you any benefit is if you race and want to preload it one way or the other for better cornering. For just street driving, it wont make a difference.

 

Well put...

 

Great info, very helpful! After reading this I looked up the Moog endlinks. I will go that way instead of the RL endlinks. This spring Ill do the Sway bar and endlinks and later during the summer I will lower the car. Pics to follow when the work gets done.

 

The RL street setting is 50% stiffer than stock! the track setting is 100% stiffer than stock.
