RDD Rear stabilizer bar just installed...

Hey everyone just wanted to let you all know I just got my brand new RDD Rear stabilizer intstalled. First off the fit was perfect and for those with Evo's no drilling is needed at all. Slight modification to the plasitic molding for optimal fit is required.
The bar is terrific I noticed a big improvement in handling within 2 minutes of driving. I never even realized how much body flex there was till It wasn't there anymore.
Overall Very pleased with this part. Materials used to build this part and others were very high quality metals much stronger than a lot of aftermarket parts out there very well designed and built to hold up.
Big thanks to PDXRalliart for all the work he did designing this peice and installing it for me.

a trunk bar removes body roll that much?

I was surprised how much it did help I honestly didn't think it would make that big of a difference but ill put it this way my gf who is used to driving a 79 volvo noticed the difference when she rode with me.

Stress bars eliminate body flex not body roll. You need to install sway bars to minimize body roll. Anyhow both of these items improve how the suspension works.

Dude, it does not make that much of a difference. I have one, not trying to flame you.
In the long run, things like this help to keep the chassis rigid. The EVO does not a soft flexy body like most cars. Hell, my old mustang still had door beam flex even after I welded in tons of bracing.

Looks good though.
Take care!
