Just did my first semi-serious mods. Got the 5AT A-spec suspension kit and mounted a Progress RSB at the "stiff" setting holes. Holy shiite! Really great improvement in handling without sacrifice in ride comfort. Now a few cosmetic things and an exhaust. Beginning to like the transition from my Legend to this TL

 

congrats sir

but

 

I as well would like to see pics

 

lol pics of a 1inch drop and a rsb that you cant see!?!??!?


Congrats OP!!!!
I cant wait to get my springs on!

 

The Progress RSB really transforms this suspension. If you have the original tires, change up the tires and you'll enjoy it even further.

 

Yep. Going to 18's after I decide which rims I want, but in the interim will be putting on my 17" Work Meister S2Rs from my Legend. Got Bridgestone Potenza RE960s on them with good tread remaining. Likely going to go snow's for my OEM 17s.

 

its ok! post it anyways

 

All i can say is... dont get to confindent with that RSB, If i was you would put it on the soft or street setting *whatever they call it. It will be more balanced, handle better and ride nicer. Plus which is the most important thing you can predict to some point as to how far you can push it before tailing out, on the stiff setting you dont have that at all until you get a surprise . Im just talking out of experience. If you are a somebody who doesnt push the car a little more then it really doesnt matter, i guess all it matters is having that feeling that your car handles better but in truth it really doesnt.

 

Thanks for the perspective. Yeah, I get your point about predictabillity of tailing out. I actually don't push my cars to their limits very often, but appreciate the improved handling in "emergency" situations (e.g. forced lane changes and stops, avoidance maneuvers). As to whether the car handles better "in truth", well I'll take that with a grain of salt until I see slalom numbers and skidpad forces for otherwise identical runs. If you have such numbers, it would be nice to see.

 

Go92, I did the same thing. Lowered on H&R Sports Springs and did the RSB-it's like falling in love with the car all over again....

 

it seems that lowering the car (koni sport/eibach pro) gives a more responsive vehicle, but the rsb has delivered the most noticeable difference in handling. without a doubt. i still push the car pretty hard sometimes and i still feel pretty confident. it seems that the car just wants to push out rather than have the back come around.

 

gotta admit with bukvaman.. for "normal" driving... the rsb goes unnoticeable but does make the ride SLIGHTLY stiffer. it does feel more stable through quicker turns, but no where near close to oversteering on the daily.
