so after fixing some teething troubles, my TRD rsb is finally installed and working perfectly....i have it on the competition setting, and the car def feels much stiffer and with much less body roll through the turns....i am very pleased with the RSB...it was kind of a pain installing it with jackstands and hand tools, but def worth it!
heres the pics

and for those who forgot what my car looks like....

Looks good! Hopefully yours doesnt rust and break as easily though.

***CharmCityES*** · 11-05-2007, 02:10 PM

i hope not....io bought it used from thapranksta and its in perfect condtition....only damage is a few scratches that didnt even break the powdercoat from where it rubbed my exhuast tubing during the install

I need to get one too. I'll probably wait until spring though.

It looks very nice. I recently took a corner VERY fast and the front end plowed terribly. I really had to get into the brakes pretty hard to transfer the weight forward to regain some grip. I had how bad FWD cars push.

can you actually set it all the way to track and still drive okay? I haven't installed mine yet but I'm waiting to. I'm planning to install, but not too sure if I should have it bolted to the middle or the inside.

i read up on some scary bolt-snapping stories due to the track setting in this very section about a year ago. i'd stay away from the track setting to make sure it doesn't snap because of a pothole or something.

anyways, definitely a nice mod.

haha cool -- thanks. I'm going to have my bar installed over the weekend

there's actually two competition settings: track and the outermost which is autocross... i'd probably stay away from autocross, because you have to have a little bit of sway in the rear end, but track would definitely be fine... that's what i have on mine and it handles beautifully....

so this is what I got off of a site --

Outter most hole (1st hole at the end - furthest away from the bar)
middle hole (center of the 3 holes)
inner hole (last hole closest to the bar)

Looks good! I wish I got the trd rsb instead of the whiteline rsb, I wonder how they compare.

Btw whats that paste like stuff under your trunk on the 3rd pic?

It's factory seam/body sealer. All cars use it.

oh yeah. i guess i just threw the outer-most hole as the "track" setting in my original post.

***CharmCityES*** · 11-05-2007, 09:50 PM

i have mine set on the innermost hole, which im guessing is the competition setting, andit drives just fine to me
