First about the Courtesy FSTB:
I installed it the other day but wasn't sure of how snug to make it .... I made it as snug as i could and then squeezed it on to the bolts, however i couldn't turn it because the courtesy fstb hits something when you try.. so i just left it how tight i could squeeze it on manually while not jacked... should that be alright? or should i do something else?

Second, I just received and Addco RSB and the instructions manual came w/ a picture that is completely black as a diagrham so I'm not quite sure how to put it on, can anyone tell me exactly how to do it and where exactly it goes? Thanks a lot

I just did the FSTB yesterday, I did the same exact thing you did when I initially installed it, that is to make it as tight as I could while squeezing it on the strut towers, then I went one full turn tighter on the bar itself. You have to push some stuff down in order to get the bar to turn without hitting the throttle control cables, but it will go.

As far as the sway bar goes, it's really simple, put the car on jack stands, identify which clamps go on the beam and which go on the training arms. They are different so make sure you get it right. Put the bar on the axel beam 1st, don't snug it up, place the bushings near the bends of the bar. Next you need to swing the bar up and get the bushings around the bar and the clamps around the axel beam, it's a bit tricky, the parking brake cable gets in the way but you can wiggle things around a bit and it goes. I think I had to slide the clamp down over the bushing on the bar in order to clear the brake clips. That bar is adjustable, you can slide the bushing up and down the training arm to get different settings. It only goes a few inches at most. I plaed mine right between the brake clip and some bolt. I just looked nice that way but man it really made a BIG differenct on the way my car took turns.
