Installed my RSB. Took the car out on some tight back roads and love how the car feels. Very solid and stable when cornering. It's not a night and day difference, but definitely noticeable in a positive way. Can't wait to add the end links to the mix.

Sorry Wind, didn't see this until now. Yes the Racingline endlinks. They're great.

See my take on them:http://forums.altimas.org/zero...45619

Its one of cheapest and best investments so far. No longer feels like the rear end has to catch up to the car when going around corners. Now just waiting for new trim tire combo to test out higher speed cornering. Front strut bar going in as soon as it gets nice out.

I have OEM wheel/tire setup. I installed the front racingline bar that goes on the engine bay (i forgot how its called..). It definetly made a huge difference with the feel of the front end. It connects the front wheels type of feeling. Same amount of grip, but more precise, tighter turning.

Now, this is in regards to the rear sway bar. Everyone here has the stillen. I decided to buy the racingline because they claim its 40% stiffer on the 1st setting (compared to stillens). I am waiting for a tracking number. Ill write my thoughts on the car after I install it. Ive read that if its too tight, then the tendency is to loose the independent suspension feeling since every bump is comunicated from one wheel to the other more harder where you now feel them. In contrast, you get more stability, less inclination from the car in tight corners. I hope that this bar compared to stillens is more stiffer but without having the mustang suspension feeling.

Thanks for posting reviews...

I was told that Front Tower Strut Bar + Drop + Summers are more than enough.

It's under $200 MOD, so I will probably wait until after I get my 18's/Summers next Spring, I'm still waiting Racingline FTSB to arrive.
