Check it out guys, my buddy and I installed the FSTB and RSB today since we both had no work and it was a gorgeous day outside. The car responds so insane now even at the middle setting. Here's some pics...never mind the dusty engine bay lol

Thanks for the complements guys...

I don't want to bump a thread that's already dying but it beats creating a new one right?

Which one of you Gen 2 guys have the RSB on the innermost setting? Should I just make that jump as well? (I'm gonna be applying for grease this week and I'm wondering if I should do that while I'm at it)

I can tell you that despite the amazing response, you'll get used to it and within 6 months you'll be moving to the track setting. But working up to it gives you two bumps for the price of one. So good call!

i just installed my rsb earlier this month and i didnt even mess with the middle setting. After reading all the reviews i just opted to go with the track setting. My ride quality hasn't changed one bit. I love the rsb almost more than my headers. I have this great off ramp by my house that says the posted speed limit is 30 mph, when ive had a bad day i just down shift from 80 to 60 and burn through that turn. I don't even feel 1 bit of loss traction from my back end. I bet i could go faster but im to scared. neways enjoy im rambling to much!

I dont mean to bump this thread unnecessarily upward and the search blows so I'll ask my quest. in here...the RSB is starting to squeak and yes I know I how to grease it up but I want to know if it can be done without unscrewing the 3 bolts on each side holding it.

Or can you do it by greasing up the brackets and surrounding areas? I REALLY don't want to unscrew the whole damn thing off again it was such a pain gettin those bolts in.

you have to unbolt the two on the bracket. the end links arent necessary. So you have to take off 4, not 6. I didnt bother taking it off. i just spray wd40 on the side of the bushings touching the rsb. It doesnt squeek anymore. hopefully it will stay like that. lol :D
