Hey guys, well the story is i was going to have a friends shop put my rsb in, but i knew they werent going to use the plumbers tape and it would end up squeaking, so yesterday i lifted the rear end and got to work, it was kind of a pain taking the old one out over the muffler but i finally got it out. I snapped the new one in place and took my car for a test drive. And WOW its a huge difference, and it also cured my rear thumping noise for some reason. I dont regret this one bit.

Congrats man.
Well the car will not feel so loose when you change lanes quick.
The car will feel tighter than before, but TEIN/TOKICO will make a better diff on the car.

Its really a night and day difference honestly. You can feel the car not leaning as much. It was well worth it.

What make of rsb did you get (trd/whiteline)?
congrats and what setting did you set it at (track/street)?

rsb imo is the best handling mod for us (even more so than lowering).

Agreed. Plus you can install it yourself with minimal tools and experience, its alot cheaper, and you dont have to pray when going over speedbumps. You can also keep changing your oil without jacking the car up.

I had mine on street for a week to get accustomed to it, then threw it on track the next week. Easily my favorite performance mod, and one of the only ones with pretty much no negative drawback, if you grease and tape it up right on installation.

congrats on your install. I felt a huge difference when I did mine. I used the middle hole.
