RSB Question

I was curious I have been scanning the market for an RSB for weeks but I am getting tired and the window is closing between the time I still have access to a lift to do this and when I head back to school, so should I just go ahead and buy an Eibach one or is the progress rsb really far superior?

All I have is the car jack so since I have the convenience of a lift I kinda want to get it done before school. Because I have no where to work on it there

Lift makes it easier, but is not required. I would get the Eibach kit with front and rear.

I have a 3rd gen type-S, Brembo rear sway bar and love it. I paid $33.00 for it at Acura.

Also I most definitely want to upgrade all my endlinks when I do the RSB and FSB upgrades however when i lowered my car a month ago or so i found out just how bad my endlinks are and the hex key bolt is soo ready to strip (I fucking hate those things) so should I just say fuck it and not beat around the bush and cut them off them off when the time comes to replace them?

Also just a sidenote I just got back from the bahamas the amount of sabers and inspires I saw there was staggering I wish I had stolen one of their grills.

Definitely just cut off the end links and make room for some new MOOG ones. That's what I did when I put on my Eibach rear sway. I would go with Fsttyms1 advice and do the sway bar kit rather than just the rear. I only did the rear and while it made a great difference I think having the front as well would be night and day. If you have access to a lift than get both bars and install them at the same time. The front is a little bit of a bitch compared to the rear from what I've heard. It's not bad, but a little tougher than the rear for sure.

All the best and enjoy the much improved handling

I am assuming you have to buy new brackets from the 3G Type-S 6MT as well correct?



So...

#3 x1
#4 x2
#5 x2

plus the Moog end links and I will be set?
