I bought my car with a Cusco RSB (whatever that is) and no FSB and it is sooo oversteery. I mean its fun, but not as fast since it scrubs a lot of speed once you kick the rear end out, so you have to keep a good slip angle or whatever the terminology for that is.
Flying over on/offramps is scary, so im sure a track day wouldnt be so hot for my current setup.
But RSB+205 tires+rain+trailbraking=teh max fun!

The Strano front bar is made exclusively for cars running in SCCA stock class where rear bars are not allowed to be changed, only front. This allows much better response at the wheel, and then once has to figure out ways to get the car's rear to be snappier without the use of a bar. Usually done through alignment settings like lots of toe out.
That's why it only makes sense for certain kinds of racing and auto x to me. To actually use it you'd have to run a lot of toe, some serious rear springs and a lot of camber... none of those are dd friendly.
I run a 22-24 up front and a 24-27 in the back and I really dig it. Forces you to drive correctly when driving hard. With just the rear bar you can overdrive a turn and trail brake or swing the rear out. Not as fast. Definitely more dangerous for those that aren't comfortable sideways. But funner and strangely more forgiving of poor driving habits.
The theory is that the big rear bar holds the rear inside tire up in a turn(bad for rear diff).
