How Long Does It Take to Install a Progress RSB??

wassup fellow maxima.org members,
i've had my progress RSB for a while and i've been too lazy to put it on. im getting tired of it sitting under my bed so i want to install it soon. i want to try tomorrow, but i only have like 2-3 hours b4 i go to work.

before i go out and try to install it, i was wondering how long it would take a newbie like me to install the RSB myself. thanx in advance.

Mine took me ~3 hrs but I had to go get the key for my wheel locks and I also was doing it by myself...it's a really simple install. Shouldn't take you more than an hour and a half tops.

also, i dont have any thing to wedge the front tires. is this a big problem to worry about?? or can i install it without putting something to wedge my front tires??

1 - 1.5 hours. Get a friend to help hold the RSB into place while you install the bushings.

It should take < 1 hour. Give yourself at least 2 before you have to go anywhere just in case.

Are you comfortable with how the "ABS line thing" turned out?

The Abs line thing is no problem as long as you follow the direction. I have checked mine multiple times and the only thing is see is some super minimal wear but that could be from anything and it is just on the outer pertective housing

Is it possible to install the RSB without stands or lifting the car at all or will I need the extra space?

Thanks.
