RSB Bolt Placement

Postby PXLpainter » Sun Jun 22, 2008 3:12 pm

^^ ALWAYS aim for the FRONT HOLE! :o

:lol: J/K

I don't know why they even make options for the bolt location - anything less than the inner most position is a waste of time/$ and defeats the purpose of the RSB IMO. Your struts/springs and wheel/tire combo are going to have much more of an affect on "ride comfort" than a stiffer RSB is, but if you're still running on stockers with SLE then I can see you're probably more interested in comfort than performance I would imagine.

Don't get me wrong. I would love both performance and comfort. I just don't believe it's simply possible to have them at the same time. I am still running stockers and they suck! When the crappy Bridgestone's get worn it will be time for the Chrome wheels and Yokohama's.

I'll move it to the front hole and see if it is acceptable. I love the fact that the car is now safe to drive at higher speed and corners better then stock. Who knows it may ride better and handle like a a car oughta.

While I'm at it, time to take a new pic, that wet top with dull tires is really buggin me. The car looks a hell of a lot better then that, even stock LOL

^^ Nothin' wrong with a stocker - just that you're wasting the true function of the RSB by not running it full-out! Especially with the SLE struts/springs and the higher profile tires - you won't feel any difference in ride comfort at all - only much improved handling and cornering. This car should have come that way from the factory IMO!

yeah I felt no difference in the how smooth it was... I actually don't like how smooth it rides... I am so used to the Porsche with the tight suspension, the suspension in the solara scares me... I am always afraid of bottoming the car out because its so soft... when I get lowering springs I am definitely getting stiffer shocks...
