True Or False: H&r 24mm Rsb - tetra - 03-20-2010
So I ordered one from FSWerks yesterday (convinced them to ship it to me USPS :D ). My sedan came with a 20mm RSB. A few people on FF said that it probably will damage my rear LCA's and that I should re-inforce them. What do you guys think? Is a 4mm increase really that dangerous?
Cause then I think about Jamie and his 28mm bar.. lol
How long have you had it in Jamie?

I have had my 28.6mm rsb for about 40k and not problems yet, I have check lca's every month or so and no problems. If you run stiff enough springs you won't have an issue. Also, people tend to have issues with 25+ but like I said, 40k and still strong

Awesome Jamie, thanks for confirming buddy :)
I think some of the guys over at FF are a little scared lol
One guy said after he put on his 24mm RSB he oversteered and destroyed his car in a ditch.. lol wtf was he doing, honestly!
BTW did you car have a stock RSB or did you have to buy the hardware? Used stock endlinks?

looks like i accidentally double posted off my phone LOL
i didnt have a stock RSB so i had to buy the steeda mounting kit and a set of endlinks aswell to put it all on. in total i spent less than 200$ for everything tho

Think my stock endlinks will be good enough? Right now they only support a 20mm bar. According to a conversion chart going from 20mm to 24mm is a 107% difference.

No , they are not scared , some have learned the hard way ,and then warned the others . It is safer to use stiffer springs along with the bigger sway bar , or reinforce the LCA's or both .

Randy told me my year has beefier LCA's.
I think I'll be fine :) If Jamie can run a whopping 28.6mm for 40K and have no problems I'll be fine.

Cool, I am no longer going to worry :)
I'll have that HTP cross brace to compensate for the front. Should be good to go.
I think 24mm is a good size. It was either that or the 25mm FRPP one.
