Pros: Neutral handling!
Cons: not undjustable, slight clearance decrease in the rear?

RSB ranks very high on my dollar per performance gains list.

For not much green and strait farward install you will get your car to use all four tires instead of overworking the front ones. This one is a must for an autoxer.

After 2 years in service this bar is still like the day I put it on and with 0 problems (not something I can claim about many mods)

It\'s non-adjustble, but I didn\'t ever think I needed any kind of adjustment to stiffness.

Clearance is reduced in the rear but because is it attached to a rear beam it moves with the suspention, so it\'s really not a factor, you\'ll rip your exhaust before ever bottoming out on this piece..

Pros: Dials out some over steer.
Cons: Drilling through the rear trailing arms.

I bought this bar when it was the only one available. It does a decent job dialing out understeer, and the rear now does start to rotate. The only quibble I have is the shoddy instructions, and hardware. I compared it to the Eibach and the only comparison btwn the two is you have to drill to install. The Progress also makes no provision for the 3 brackets that mount on the trailing arm. Just letting them dangle.

Pros: car\'s rear end sways less during turning.
Cons: non adjustable

1.8 brings no sway bars so this mod made the car behave a lot better while turning at highway speeds. while switching lanes also, the car\'s rear end stays put. i love it.

Pros: Cheap mod for as much as it does
Cons: Drilling is intimidating (but not bad at all)

Like all the other reviews said, instructions suck. Just look at the picture on this page and then youll understand how it goes on really easy. As for performance, it made a pretty good difference. I can get all four tires to break loose around a corner and I can honestly say oversteer is all but gone. Most importantly I have a better control of the car now with more precise cornering. I got mine at Summit racing website and paid $89 for it (on clearance). Definately check out if in the market for a sway bar.

Pros: Understeer is very minimal, steering is more responsive, looks sexy underneed the car
Cons: Drilling(some might not like drilling but its really easy)

Install:
Was missing 2 of the bushings and 2 u brackets, bought energy suspension bushings at autozone for $20 and they are even nicer than the ones that came with the kit. they also look really sexy when you look underneath the car(they are red). Had to drill 4 holes total for the brackets but not bad at all, just use a sharpie to know where to drill. Overall installing the sway bar was easy.

Driving:
I have all stock suspension, but after putting in the sway bar I still did not see a difference while normal driving. So I decited to take a nice off ramp that turn as you get off, and man that little sentra really came to life! . I was off the gas and I turned and all 4 wheels were gripping the corner nicely, I turned a bit more and I could hear the back tires squeal instead of the front.

Great product good buy will definitely bring your car to life in sharp turns
