stillen RSB 2k2 max settings

Has anyone here had any trouble running the stillen RSB on its tighest setting? When we through it on at its tighest setting the car made some sort of rubbing sound. We loosened it and it seemed ok. I don't think the bar it self made much of a difference... but perhaps my bar is defective or something? Any input?

can you define tightest setting?

You don't sound like you mean which set of mounting holes but rather how tight the bolts are. Is this correct?

I didn't experience any rubbing noises but I did have to bend the break line tab to get it in place. As for tightening, I vaguely recall making it tight.

In terms of impact, I found the RSB to be minimal. The biggest impact I've had with the handling on my 02 was with changing the springs over to Eibach Pro's. That change was pronounced from a handling point of view. Hope this helps.

assuming your talking about how tight the bolts are holding the brackets together.... my car made a creek/groan/rub sound when the bolts were not tightened enough.

Yea I did mean which mounting holes
Actually, i'm gonna do what u did next and swap the springs... and this guy said I should swap the struts too with the 4th gen KYB's modded to fit the 2k2. I hope after all that the car finally handles nice : ]
Does your car bottom out alot?
