Got my TRD RSB on!

Got my TRD RSB on!

Postby TMMK Toy » Sun Nov 04, 2007 10:33 am

Well my buddy at Honda installed my RSB for me yesterday. The car def. feels a lot better and more direct feeling in response. We set it on track setting (as you look at the bar from behind the car, the upper bolt hole). It looked to be very tight clearance around the RCAs but looks like it wont rub as they should move along with the bar. Anyway, he used some kind of lube he has at work and no squeaks and best part was he managed to reuse the orig. end links, so I can take the ones from the dealer back and get an extra 150 bucks. Guess I'll be doing a few more mods this month :)

you could also PM reggie
NVD1S (i think) is his SN here. he works parts for a toyota dealership in St. Louis

probably will be the best price you can get on the TRD RSB after shipping.

It is always nice to drive a car with improved suspension.
:D
I remember when I first installed the RSB on my lara, it was literally a night and day difference in the car's handling.

i wouldnt classify it as "trouble" but some difficutly installing it maybe. When its lifted up and off the wheels its a little hard to get it hooked up, just some force will push it onto the bushings/brackets/bolts. Just be ready to think "hey this is the wrong size" but its not, just be rough with it and make it your bi$ch. lol

It was easier for me when i got it lifted. Only have so much maneuverability when you laying under your car. Just use force and it'll work, its a great upgrade, very easy to install.

No real issues. We managed to keep the wheels on, only had to drop the exhause at the hanger by the muffler and it went on with a lil coaxing. And I'm loving this mod still. Gradually starting to push the car a lil harder as I get more intimate with it.

That's what i did too. lol.
What i did to get used to the TRD RSB was take an "S" turn like street and go about 5mph over the posted limit. :wink:
And then maybe 10mph the next time i found that i was comfortable wit gin' 5mph over the posted limit.

Well, I already go over the limit on every turn I take, so I gotta try to take it even higher over the limit I used to. It is nice though turning onto a side street and not really having to brake anymore at say 30 mph. Feels lot flatter and no more rocking the boat sensation. I really dont need to alter my line in the middle of a turn or adjust the wheel. The car pretty much heads where I want it now with a lot less fuss.
