Way higher than the RCF!
Dont try stuffing it into the same off ramp, at the same speed, you're just asking for trouble. Don't ask me how I know!
but now it's looking like there may be some aftermarket help out there. Looking forward to seeing how well we can make this girl handle!

Beef up the RSB, will help getting it closer to neutral in handling. Raking might transfer a bit more weight forward but would be negligible and screw things up geometrically.
Also, center of gravity has a vertical element and most people just talk about lowering it (ie moving it vertically downward). They aren't talking about corner weighting or weight balance.

While we've been in discussion regarding the Cusco RSB, an alignment zero-out would provide greater reduction in understeer than the RSB (assuming alignment is not changed in the second option). Buy 4pcs. Toyota P/N 90105-17011 (genuine 14mm center diameter camber bolts) and replace all 4 front camber bolts. This would allow you to set the front camber up to -2*. Combined with the RSB and rear zero camber, I don't really experience much front end push anymore. Hope this helps.

Any hint where I can get a used oem F sports RSB? I think 23mm vs 25mm which I think wont really make a big diff in my case as I own the Base. I can get a used OEM (for BASE) for under 100$ as compared to 400$, cant seem to find any OEM fsport on ebay.Ill start with camber bolts, I guess Ill need a new laser alignement for the front -2%
