I felt a noticeable difference with the bar, turns felt a bit flatter, but nothing crazy. When I got my RareJDM Rear Strut Tower Bar I felt a huge difference in how the car rode. Back end felt very stable, not as much twist when I hit a bump, and turns were a joy to take! PM zackt69 to get on the list for the next run of these bars.

I just noticed in your sig you don't list sway bars. I would get a set of sways and the RareJDM RSTB and you'll be set.

If you are set on getting a FSTB look into the ARC bar. Yes it will cost you your first born child, but it is much stronger than the NRG/Richie bar and more effective (from what I've heard from people who have owned both bars).

I didn't feel a difference whatsoever when I installed mine.





BUT, when I uninstalled mine I noticed a difference.

I would highly suggest taking a look at the GT-Spec strut bar for our cars. It appears to be thicker, and of those that I know have switched from Richie to GT-Spec like the GT-Spec 10x more. The GT-Spec is the same price, if not cheaper (it used to be $150, but they raised the price a tad. Still under $200 I think...).

Good point Cal, forgot about the GT-Spec bar. If you are going to choose between the NRG and Richie I would go with the GT-Spec bar too.
