Which one's the best?

With threads like this it is often asked, “Which is the best?” This is difficult to answer as some consider best quality at any price, personal preference / bragging rights / street cred (popular brand), best value (quality at a good price), popularity (local Nator), cheapest price, etc. Like the Wiki and my other threads, this is just a list in descending Genpu purchased popularity order. I hope that helps.

It may not give you a competitive edge choosing the most popular option, but it should allow you to compete.

I was joking...but it would be nice to have some comparative info discussion to follow.

Agreed - I'd like to hear about how effective these solutions are for eliminating torque steer, wheel hop and under-steer.

Hey Liceense.

I recently installed a JBR 1.25 Tru-Torsion RSB, and a JBR 88a Duro RMM. These are my only two "suspension" products.

So far, with the 2 items i listed above, the difference in handling as actually quite substantial.

I am currently on a Freektune as well.

The items from stock to aftermarket are night and day i feel. I have a few on-ramps here in my city that do the whole loop to get on the highway. I'm actually able to take that loop alot hard and faster than stock where i felt there was a clear amount of roll, and felt the rear end would kick out. I no longer feel that. Furthermore, the torque steer is greatly reduced as well as it helped stiffen up the engine movement as well as balancing out the rear end to keep it straight and true. The 2 items working together i believe help plant the vehicle, however, it doesn't necessarily assist in prevent a great amount of wheelspin.

The installation of the RSB was incredibly easy. Took me less than 10 minutes with the back end jacked up. There's a total of 6 bolts, 2 u-joints, and the bar itself. The price is also quite nice too. Nothing that breaks the bank in any way, and i do feel it's a very beneficial tool to have installed. I don't have any other brand of RSB to test, but i had a Cobb RMM previously and to be quite honest, the Cobb RMM feels like stock, which is pretty awful. The JBR 88a duro, lots of people say that they can't even hold a conversation in the car because it's so shakey. Since having it in, before it's even gotten more than 100km on it, the car has little vibration. You can absolutely hold a conversation, but it's in no way uncomfortable in any sense of the word. If you had the RMM installed, you'd never even complain. However, you can definitely feel the mount strengthens the hold on the engine.
