(Thread Starter) | Neutral : +1 score TLDR; @jbarone; RSB is awesome and does exactly what it should do (reduce understeer). Installation was a breeze, the directions provided online are all anyone needs to install the RSB correctly. I was a little nervous changing out the RSB since I do a lot of road course events and didn't want to induce a lot of unmanageable oversteer in a corner. I stuck with the middle setting and was more than impressed with how the car handled. The first hot session we had, I could immediately tell that the back end wanted to come around more than stock. The great thing was that it was a gradual oversteer. Never once did I feel that the back end was going to snap around when I didn't ask for it to. I don't have any times for the sessions, but I could definitely tell that the car was faster through the corners than when I had the stock RSB on.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Oversteer in your ms3? I must be in a different car than you. I have yet to have my car over steer in any circumstance that is not a result of me completely messing up an element. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I have konis on full stiff in the rear and a RSB on full stiff, if it is over steering, lower your rear tire pressure. You can go down to something like 35 # with no roll over and the back will stick like glue. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score It seems you're confusing "proper balance" with "oversteer".

| Not Ranked : 0 score I may have misspoken, reading his post again I'm not sure what I was thinking of. I've had liftoff oversteer a couple times in situations I quite badly misjudged but overall I love the balance of my car with the sway bar. I can rocket around corners and never feel like the front of the car is out of its element.

| Not Ranked : 0 score I just put mine on a couple of weeks ago too, didn't notice a huge difference on the middle setting. Driving around town, figured I would definitely notice it when making u-turns but it wasn't anything crazy. So a few days ago I had to take the highway, holy crap!!!!!!!!! I did the trilogy at the same time so I figured I would ride it a little quick and damn the back feels so tight now! Before it would kinda float, but now at highway speeds I definitely felt the back was sharper and more predictable when turning the car. Great easy simple mod! Can't wait to get the jbr camber arms and put some coilovers on it to really see how this thing can handle! Thanks Jamie for all the great products you make, and continue to develop!

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score I guess I should clarify. I was experiencing liftoff oversteer that was very controllable and easy to induce. On the stock RSB, it liftoff oversteer was easy enough to encounter but it wasn't as controllable as with the JBR rsb.
