Okay, I can get an Addco RSB from Cattman for about $160 shipping included or I can get the stillen for like $220 or so plus shipping. Addco uses bushings, Stillen doesn't. Stillen is adjustable, Addco isn't. I'm not going to be adjusting my RSB every week, so is their any major functionality/performance reason as to why I should choose Stillen over Addco?

PS

Stillen fits directly on the 5th generations, Addco might require modification.

I just ordered a Stillen RSB last night

from Gotrice10@yahoo.com. His price is pretty good. Send him an email. I didn't realize Addco made one for the 2000+. They don't show it on the website. Anyway, I've heard a lot of good things about the Stillen version.

i get creak-creak-mooo during slow cornering, ie parking lot. really hurts the "pimp" effect.

The only thing I had to do was trim the passenger side midsection bracket a little. When I installed it the first time and hit a bump with a full load it made a "knock" sound as the bracket brushed past the transverse link suspension bolt. After I did the trim I haven't heard anything else from back there.

i would like to add that addco shipped a wrong combo of bracket/l-bolt (or i missed, something) but ended up leaving of a bracket for the trailing arm. maybe that started my noises however most addco are on 4-th generations, who i should be consulting lol.

Interesting. Maybe it wasn't torqued down properly the first time? I also used some soap to help slip the bushings on. It could be helping to keep things quiet.
