I finally got around to installing a RSTB I had purchsed from a fellow CEG'er, and thought I'd offer a little review:

First, install is (obviously) a no brainer. If you can fill up your car with gas, you can do this.

Second, I'll be d@#%ed but it makes a real and noticeable differance.

I installed it at the State Park, and the first speed bump I went over was....silent! No body creaking...no wierd sounds...just the struts. I also immediatley noticed a more solid feeling from the front seat backwards. Hard to explain, but when you've owned and worked on your car for over 5 years...you notice things. The back of the car feels like it moves as one with the rest of the car now. Upon getting on the highway and taking some off/on ramps, I can say that turn in is crisper...and again, more solid.

So for the price, I have a car that is quieter, more maneuverable, and more fun to drive. Can't beat that!!

An overlooked modification.

You guys ruined it. I was going to tell him it was a Rear Seat Throttle Bearing.

VERY FUNNY! Honestly with the "TB" in it, the first thing that kept popping to mind was something regarding a throttle body. LOL. But since our cars don't have that, and it's posted in "Suspension" I knew that wasn't it. At the time I just couldn't wrap my mind around what else it could be!

Oops...my bad. I've never had engine probs of any kind and have yet to mod the engine beyond the KKM intake, so I've never paid that much attention to it. Now I know!
