Installing RSB - Need a HOW2....

Anyone have the instructions for installing an Addco RSB?

Or, can you link me to the instructions?

I could probably figure it out myself, but pre-printed instructions would be helpful.

Thanks!

its adjustable so u know, and further away from the end of the bar is for a stiffer setup, closer to the end is for a less stiff setup

The best I can do is refer you to a bunch of pics They're taken of three guys installing Addco RSBs (two 4th gens + one 5th gen). Sorry, no text. But a picture is worth a thousand words right??

i thought it was the other way around:
if the bushing are at the extreme ends, its stiffer.
and if the bushings are near the middle of the bar, its less stiff


anyone care to share?

I got it for $80....

I think that was a good price....

I'm really looking forward to putting this in next weekend, and the 5spd pedals at the same time.

The weekend after that - 5spd and ACT Clutch, baby!

I just installed my RSB too, but honestly I didn't notice much of a difference. I had a FSTB and my car is riding on B+G springs and AGXs. Maybe I haven't pushed the car enough

Also, make sure you grease the bushings to prevent squeaking
