Hi. I installed my Stillen RSB today. Stillen says that you can choose the "holes" that are best for you. I used the ones that the picture showed, which was the middle holes. Does anyone know what the advantages are using different setups? Which would be the tightest?

Thanks,
Erik

I didn't know the Stillen RSB now has 3 holes... i think mine has 2... anyways...

IIRC... moving to the holes closest to the axis of the RSB makes it tighter as does moving the mounts further toward the back of the vehicle...

 

I have basically the same question, but I don't really understand your response Chunger. What do you mean by moving to the holes closer to the "axis" of the sway bar. I installed mine today, and used the holes that were farthest apart. My thinking was along these lines, if you try to hold onto a hockey stick with your hands together, you aren't going to have a whole lot of stability. The farther apart you move your hands, the more stable and controlled the stick will be. There are 5 holes on each side of the Stillen RSB, and I used the the ones farthest aft, and farthest forward. I want the stiffest setup, but not knowing explicitly what the stiffest setup is, I used the above method to make an educated guess. Can anyone here help myself and tifosiv.

 

Hey chunger, is that regular like track auto chrome molding around your wheel wells? It looks nice with your rims.

 

Not sure about the holes. From what I understand, the closer the bar is to the rear axle (forward), the more neutral the car will become. In fact, you can induce oversteer too. I have the center of my bar almost directly under. It's back a few centemeters. I originally had it back further but didn't handle as well.

 

I think I saw your car in Alhambra. I've got a fairly stock 95 SE white with 2000 GlE wheels. Nice car. Was that you?

 

It came with the car (as did the pin stripping and moonroof wind deflector)...

I've got to replace them soon... kinda cracked... I'll check with the dealer when I have time...

 

Yep...probably me! I'll keep an eye out for you next time... give me a honk! hehe

 

Yep... you're right... i forgot how many holes there were...

Shifting the position of the RSB further back on the trailing arms should keep both wheels more together (less sway)... but I figure this makes the rear less independent (even though it isn't to start off with)
