I have Cobb RSB on my RWD G and it does make a difference in terms of reducing roll, even in the front. I have the bar set to medium (130% stiffer than OEM) and I really like it. I was worried the increased roll stiffness in the rear would make the car really tailhappy, but that does seem to be the case.

I taught no one made a rear strut brace for sedans. I would like to know where can I get one??

I don’t think he meant strut brace I think RSB meant rear sway bar... I could be wrong - but there isn’t any place to mount a rear strut brace without considerable modification - I think you'd have to remove back seat?

Wanta play....?

Flatter cornering requires a little more than just sways/upper strut bar. If you
really want to corner with the big boys you need end links. Most aftermarket
endlinks are three times the size and strength of the OEM units which are
extreemly weak. My choice are the PowerGrid end links from Z1. There's also
corner balancing which is one way to set up your car after you've completed
everything else....have fun!

Good call on the end links.

I think sways help a lot even without them but every little bit helps.

You can have eibach make you custom springs that are oem height but stiffer.
Move your battery to the pass side of the trunk.

I almost wish I didn't find this thread from 4 years ago. These GT Spec parts just added a few more goodies to my wish list

I'm surprised and disappointed... only one person mentioned shocks/struts - the one part that has the job of keeping your wheels to the ground for more traction.
