What kind of RSB and Front Strut bars?

[aznboi0204]

Been looking into way to prevent understeer and want to know which brands of Rear Sway Bars and Front strut bars are actually worth the money

[endlesswinterco]

progress rear sway bar. for the front strut bar, all do the same thing. IMO, the rear sway is the most important.

I agree with endlesswinterco, the stock strut bar prevents you from really feeling a lot of the benefit of an aftermarket one. Get a Progress RSB and call it a day. the CT RSB has fitment issues with several aftermarket exhausts where as the Progress has none.

A Progress RSB is the way to go, I have a Cusco front sturt bar and I don't really feel a difference in handling, haha.

I have Comptech RSB and I love it. But if you do have an after market exhaust, go with Progress RSB.

Trust me from personal experience. If your looking to do some spirited driving a RSB helps improve things significantly. However with that said make sure you ditch the under-par oem tires for something more sticky..or you might expereince loss of traction if you push a little to hard.

I am rocking an H&R rear sway bar and I love it. I just hope there is no clearance issues when I go to get my exhaust installed.

^ check out tire rack. They have decently performing tires for just over $120 a piece. Progress RSB was my first mod and it's awesome!

Is it pretty hard to replace the RSB, I have read that you might have to remove the exhaust?

It's pretty simple. Even for a mod noob like me. You might have to remove the rubber mounts off the support pin for more space to work with. But you don't need to remove the exhaust.

I got the Comptech RSB and a E-Sport front strut bar (aka ebay lol) The RSB I felt a slight improvement, can't say much for the front but I think it help little.

Take off you front strut bar or loosen it. The aftermarket is usually bigger than stock. So it defeats the purpose.

I would think there would be more of a difference by going to a larger 22mm vs 15 mm rsr, there is just way too much roll even in small turns...I guess lowering the car is needed too.

It's super easy to replace the RSB. 4 Bolts chasis, 2 endlinks bolts, and a little manipulation.

There is big difference going to bigger RSB, I felt it immediately. Lowering and better tires will help
