Magic Marker Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have the 22mm adjustable Whiteline RSB kit. Those two bars are not end links but the KBR15 rear brace support. Here's a picture of it installed for reference (its not the best pic but helps put the parts in perspective). The stock endlink is to the left of the shock (vertical as well) and the brace is to the left, connecting at sway bar brace bracket and the arm. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=812&pictureid=4359 What kind of mufflers are those? 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiyafan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 ic, so the KBR15 rear brace support is something else which adds to the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minuccims Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 ic, so the KBR15 rear brace support is something else which adds to the performance. The brace support strengthens the bracket where the RSB bushing bolts up to. Those are Megan Racing axlebacks. They've gotten bit louder over the last 10k miles. Will be putting in the silencers tomorrow as a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 A quick question, are the bushings that come with the 19 mm RSB (https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=1267?osCsid=3b3a5577778836288aca0d4b0d7f2f0b) rubber or polyurethane? I am asking because I read in another thread that the polys need to be constantly greased. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Whiteline's are poly. Have been thru a winter and all is quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilgrinch Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I am asking because I read in another thread that the polys need to be constantly greased. Thank you. I bought mine from the website you are looking at and it is rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musty_hustla Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I concur...the invoice says rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spool_up Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I just installed mine. They are rubber. How does it feel? It feels like there is 150LB of sand in the trunk, but without the bad effects of inertia or raw weight. I haven't had it on the highway yet. I also got rubber floor mats and folding mirrors for my 2010. Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbb Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Just ordered the white line 22 mm, should be here next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekend Shooter Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 installed mine this morning. Appreciably better but not drammatic. I thought the strut bar was a bit more drammatic. overall stability is better. Ran the machine to 105mph to try it out, better feel tho still not as squared like a Benz which had 22mm RSBs. But my teeth were falling out at each bump while I m still comfy in my Leggings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Consider getting in the car and proceed directly to the twisties - the RSB improvements will be immediately understood. Highway on-ramp next. For the LGT, the rear has a much more controlled response to bumps in the pavement on the highway. Pre-RSB, the rear would react to the bumps with a little side-to-side. Also, put 200 lbs in the trunk, or several adults and drive around. The back end was sloppy and with sluggish response. After RSB, I don't notice this any more.

minuccims Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 ahhh.....you guys are all making me.....I am sooo tempted. Do it now!!!!!!!! (The LGT should have come stock with this RSB and 40-48 offset wheels.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiyafan Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I am still waiting for the FSB because I want to see how much it can improve handling. If it's worth the money then I will know exactly what size RSB to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ahh, If I was in your shoes, I 'd be quietly waiting to secure a RCE package - a matched set Springs (with upgrade to shocks), FSB and RSB. For anyone with a 2011 LGT that is waiting for a COBB AP, or a 3.6R, I'd be all over that combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiyafan Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 not planning lower the car anytime soon, the roads here during winter are bad. But we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musty_hustla Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Installed! I stripped the hex on one of my end links so I had to visit a local shop and install the Kartboy enlinks (which I did myself). The back end feels much tighter and if anything emphasizes the need for better springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd3.6 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Installed! I stripped the hex on one of my end links... Oh really? Glad I just used a pair of peaked nose vice grips. I didn't see the hex wrench socket until I was almost done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd3.6 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 not planning lower the car anytime soon, the roads here during winter are bad. But we will see. I can sympathize... There are some serious 'tire swallowers' here in the Twin Cities. I've been lucky so far, no flat tires or bent rims yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max6spd Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Installed mine today. Took me a little while struggling with negotiating the car out from under the car and then putting it back. Had trouble removing the endlinks and had to get back to this thread to read todd3.6's post about the hex at the end of the bolt. Good thing I did. Didn't notice a tremendous difference, but like musty_hustla said, it just emphasizes the need for better springs. Can't wait for RCE to deliver.

ChasWG Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Everyone is waiting for RCE to come through. Soon, real soon... I think I might go a different direction. Loosing faith in RCE. So you don't feel any difference withe new bar in place? Maybe you didn't drive the snot out of the old bar before changing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
