you have 3 upgrade options - the comptech rsb which i believe is 22mm, the typeS rsb (not sure how thick that is) or the progress rsb which is 24mm.

Progress, which is the thickest/stiffest rsb, offers the best performance in terms of planting your rear on the ground and preventing body rolls. The sacrifice is lack of indepedent rear suspension, i.e. it links the rear suspensions together so whatever happens to the right rear side is felt on the left rear side as well. Translation: the ride is a little rougher over bumps for rear passengers.

so, as with any suspension mod its a compromise between ride quality and performance with regards to whatever rsb you go with.

You also have H&R RSB which is 22mm like the Comptech one. The Type S/6MT one is 20mm.

Stock 5AT is 17mm. I upgraded to Type S one, but I'll upgrade to Progress soon enough.

I'm running the Comptech RSB and am very happy with the performance; no noticeable compromise in ride comfort.

After I get my drop, I plan on running a progress RSB...I had one on my SRT4 and it made a hella of a difference...Car handle great, it complimented the koni/Prokit setup!!!

Even on stiff/track setting, you're not going to induce oversteer in a car with 60/40 weight distribution. A couple of times, during a sweeping turn, I had to lift throttle to slow down for traffic ahead...

I'd describe the sensation as less understeer, nowhere close to oversteer that you'd expect in a rear drive or weight balanced car.

Progess RSB came this weekend. while let you know after installed it if fixed the roll issue. Although, might just do the springs and shocks to knock it out at one time.
