This is correct. I can't remember exactly the diameter of the two RSB's, but I've got both of them and the Whiteline is thicker. The TRD bar can't change diameter; the stiffer setting is due to using different holes that give the effect of making the bar shorter.

As for the RSB working in conjunction with the Whiteline FSB - the FSB takes away the oversteer and brings back understeer. It's a thick bar and really tightens up the front end. A lot of people like the bigger bars at both ends because you feel planted to the road on big sweepers. For sharp turns and autocross it's pretty bad, though, because the front is so stiff that you can easily slide due to the understeer. I tried the Whiteline FSB with both the Whiteline RSB and the TRD on stiff, and finally took it off. I just don't think FWD cars with big FSB's are a good idea. If Whiteline had made their FSB just a little stiffer than stock, it would have been perfect.

The purpose of sway bars are to fine tune your handling dynamics, so don't go overboard with them.

I'm trying to get the details out for some bushing and suspension peices b4 I snap in my Whiteline FSB. Its sitting ontop of the shipping box on the floor just teasing me to just toss it in already. I'm already stiff in the rear but I need the front stiffer to handle in the turn in. I don't care about the understeer, its better then oversteer. Properties of Drifting. If it were AWD/4WD then i'd be happy with a neurtral setting. Oh well, depends on the driver.

Already got the TRD RSB on track when I had stock and when I switched over to Tien SS coils. :lol:

mmm *hugs suspension*

I would be interested in this if you could get me one as well.

Check out TN's forum. They have a groupbuy for Whiteline products going on but I didn't want to wait so i bought mine from another source.

Small Edit. Whiteline FSB is 24mm RSB is 20mm

Yeah i'm hatin' the oversteer so bad, cause there's some streets here that are funny and you can take them pretty quick, but the oversteer scares me.
Maybe i need to get some rims and lower the car to take the fear...... :lol:

I've read several articles that say a little bit of oversteer is a good thing on the track.

just got my TRD RSB installed the stock one is 16mm and the TRD is 20mm... ... finally got rid of the bousty feel... i think $200CA worth to change it...

$0 is a much better number

I've only had a Whiteline and I love it (and not only because I got it for "free"). I makes the car a lot more controllable and no oversteer character.

I asked him to check how many there are incase any of you wanted one. The shop is only open M-F, so I'll let you know then.

If they have anymore, I'll take one also!

If anyone has the combo........
I would know how it is, cause i like the TRD RSB on track settin' but the oversteer i'm hatin'.

Mine is set-up like that. I enjoy it but I kinda wish that the TRD springs were linear not progressive but the flatness of the body roll is very cool.

Here's the update.

It's actually my cousin's close friend who he goes to for a lot of his Honda's parts. They have ONE actual TRD RSB for the Solara, but his friend works at some performance shop that makes parts mostly for Hondas/Acuras. They got it from someone who used this to get a credit at the store, it was never installed. Their idea is to take the measurements off the TRD and manufacture something similar because I mentioned to my cousin that I was having trouble finding a RSB.

I'm not sure if they would actually go through with it, they were saying that making a RSB is pretty easy with the right equipment which they have.

I'm grabbing the TRD because I doubt I'll ever find a price like this again.
