Best RSB?

they all do the exact same thing.
addco = cheapest, but gets the job done
progress = improved clamp design of an addco bar
stillen = complete rip-off, not worth the $$$
i went with the addco, but that was before the progress was released. depending on price of course, or if you could get the progress on a group deal, i'd go with either of those. i like the way the progress bar looks. it's really your preference, but definitely do not get the stillen rsb.

I just followed the write-up that was here:

and everything went smoothly.
When I rotated my tires recently, I checked the lines and they were still perfect. I zip-tied a tiny piece of small-diameter loom to the brake line area just in case, but I really didn't have to. No problems.
Peace.

How can you not say Stillen isn't the best? I know it costs a fortune but there are no bushings to wear out and it's better quality. I had an addco bar on a different vechicle and it's cheap and the bushing mounts kept moving around.

From what I've been reading forget an RSB and get at least the stage 2 SFC set from WarpSpeed.

If you got money to burn and want a high profile name, then buy the Stillen. For the best bang for the buck, choose Addco or Progress (Progress for the above mentioned reasons). You can use all that extra cash you saved for springs, FSTB, SFC's, Piaa fogs, etc...
