Are the RB sways worth the time and $
 
Just wondering what the opinions are on the Rb sways both front and rear, whether this mod is worth the time and money, and whether the was a noticable difference in handling observed, thanks. ;)

Two answer both your questions YES & YES. Best $360 you can spend. I doubt you can find a bad post about them.

It's an inexpensive and worthwhile mod, less body roll as evidenced above..

yea, my suspension is stock and when my friend drove me in his rx8 with sways, i could totally tell the difference

Thanks guys, 1 more question, how long do they take to put on..would I be able to do it myself, or is a pro required

Yeah, I agree. Best money I spent on this car. I got the Racing Beat suspension package (Sway bars, springs & front sway bar endlink) & it was amaazing the upgrade in handling. Almost telepathic now.

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-racing-beat-sway-bar-install-43677/ will give you an idea, but counting the time to jack up the car it can be done in less than two hours.

Did you install the Borla & the REVI? If you did that you can do this.

Thanks Expo1, sways are next for me, btw I did the intake with the help of a buddy, so maybe I could handle this too ;)

Get the endlinks also. It took me about 3 hours, but that was because I did it myself. I would get someone to help with the front sway bar who isn't a woman. My wife just wouldn't cut it, so I did it myself. When I did my brother-in-laws, he helped and we did both in 1.5 hours.
