anyone have the RB suspension package?

hey guys i was thinking about modding my suspension next, and i was checking out the swaybar/springs FC kit on racingbeat.com does anyone have this kit? i was thinking that the springs werent going to be aggressive enough, but i'm not really sure.
i am definitely interested in the kit though since i can get swaybars, links and springs for like 400 bucks, then i can get some decent shocks to have a whole new suspension setup for under 600 bucks. sounds like a great deal to me but i was just curious if anyone has those RB springs on their car and how aggressive they are cause everything else about the kid looks super, especially those blingin waybars. thanks guys

I'm curious about this too, as this is the package I plan on picking up for one or both of my TIIs.... Response would be appreciated.

yes, people do have that kit.
no, decent shocks are not $200
sorry if I'm being an *** but I've been at work for thirteen hours and I'm a little grumpy just now.

i have the RB package on my 91 N/A. I would say that the springs could be stiffer. They seemed to help brake dive and rocking back under acceleration. The sway bars made a considerable difference. The car corners pretty flat now. I still have not replaced the front struts. It was worth the money. Hope this helped. I looked for the same subject before I bought mine.

well, RB claims that their springs are xx% stiffer than stock...well, which stock? TII or base models? I don't want a spring that's the same as the one i got already(TII). And probably the same thing for the sway bars. what came stock on TII's? if the RB sway bars are only like 2mm or so larger, then screw that. i can spend that money somewhere else.

i will say one thing, the new sway bars are way heavier. I don't know it that really means anything.
