RSB necessary with sprint springs?

hey guys i was doing some random research and came across this thread

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ighlight=97GLE

at the bottom, 97GLE said something about if you have 2" drop or more (sprint springs) then a RSB wouldn't be necessary. I have an RSB from my old max which i was planning to put on my new one with sprint springs. Will the difference be very little to anything at all or is it still gonna make a significant difference and do u guys recommend putting it on or selling it since it would be a waste?

HEY I SEARCHED!

That is very incorrect. RSB not only has to do with CG roll, it has to do with a lot of traction issues as well. Everytime you stiffen the rear end, you gain on the front end.... hence RSB, stiffer springs and stiffer struts, creates more traction for the front end = oversteer. When people are talking just the limiting of the body roll, in result of better steering (oversteer), they only know half the story.

I would highly recommend you put your RSB on.

Since you got it anyway might as well just install it.
