rsb ?'s

Ive had a rsb sitting in my garage for many months now....I am about to install a whole lot of items on my car soon.....I have kyb agx struts, h&r springs, fstb, rsb, new tires to mount on 18X8 masitaly presidents (heavy!), 300zx brakeline conversion, calipers and rotors....I need to order kyb dustboots and those custom rear strut mounts, and H&R wheel spacers to fit the 300zx brakes....

this question is about whether or not I should install the rsb...Ive read a while back that it made the car more dangerous....I am not a superior driver, I dont race or anything.....just drive normally up to 110 or so on the interstate (very rarelt...usually dont go past 90)...I dont want to install it if it will make my I30 unsafe at high speeds.....I am not sure whats inherantly wrong with the design of the rsb and thus why it is unsafe......please someone enlighten me! Also, and opinion on the suspension? Ive never driven or ridden in a car with a full set like I will have soon....thanks for any advise!

It can make the car kind of tail happy. I believe it can be installed so it is not though.

can you explain how to install it the safe way? I am probably going to have a local performance shop install everything.....I am hoping to get a deal with so much at once. They quoted me 200 for springs and struts and 100 for the short shifter thus far....any ideas on what the final install price might be? thanks again!

Adding the RSB will make your car more fun to drive. Thus you will drive faster and it becomes more dangerous

do you have air tools? Many of my nuts and bolts have extreme rust (chicago car)....I was told the short shifter bolts would most likely break and need to be replaced by my mechanic and the front strut tower mount bolts are so rusted its impossible to remove with a 3 ft extension.....also, does that mean for 300 you would install everything on the list (except the tires being balanced and mounted-unless you work at a shop?) even if things go wrong unexpectedly? I wouldnt want to drive all the way out there, and get stuck if something didnt go as planned.....blacksburg pretty far from richmond....I do appreciate the offer however! If you really think you could help me send me an email and well talk!
