Stillen RSB install

I just installed my Stillen Rear Sway Bar.

The funniest thing is, when I called Stillen to ask for torque specs for the bracket bolts, the salesman's reply was...
"I spoke to our master mechanic, he said you don't need to use a torque wrench, just make it tight and then go 1/8 turn more!"

Needless to say, the instructions were weak.
Especially about where to position the brackets so the bar does not hit the stabilizer link.
When the car is up on jack stands it is hard to judge where the bar is in relation to the stabilizer link.

But I am happy with the results, because it improved the turn-in significantly.

Yep it helps out big time. I prefer the stiffest setting.
