Why not just buy the Addco one for $115 shipped? As you name says, Stillen sucks.

No I don't think it was. I remember talked to nc00max and he said the 4th Gen bars worked on 5th Gens but they hung down like 2". So the 5th Gen bar corrected this, and so it wouldn't fit on a 4th Gen.

I don't see why you want the Stillen so much. The only two things it comes with over the Addco are name and adjustability. I can tell you now almost nobody uses the adjustability (it's just a pain to get down there), and from your screenname I don't see why the name would matter to you.

true, but i heard that since the addco relies heavily on bushings , during initial turn-in, the stillen is more tight, and that only after heavier input the addco begins to tighten up; and that as far as taking it to the limits, they both are about the same. I dont know if this is true? but if it is, I want the bar for daily responsiveness/sharpness as well as near-limit performance, not its adjustability. Or maybe im wrong? is the difference minimal even w/lighter daily driving?

If theres no diff, i want the addco hands down. Less$$ for stillen!
