Who would be interested in a RSB bracket that you wouldn't have to remove your parking brake cable or ABS cable to use? I'm just trying to get an idea of how many people would want one. If enough people would be interested i'd make a template to make multiple copies and if not i'd just make mine from a mold that I have. This would only be for Progress and Addco bars.

This is not going to happen. I personally bought my Addco/Progress RSB from Cattman and I dont have any problems so far. The bolts need to be tightened every month, though.

Or put 2 nuts on the bolt to stop them from backing out, or go with some wire to lock them in.

Ok, $230+ for a stillen bar or $130 for a progress bar with better brackets for $15 more.

Stillen = stupid waste of money

how is it a waste of money? sure it costs more, but it works as its supposed to....

...and Y2k Max Luv - this coming from the guy with the MOMO SHIFT ****. What, your OEM shift **** didn't allow you to change gears, so you needed an expensive shift ****? There's an even stupider waste of money....

Same concept as the Stillen RSB, you pay for the name, the style, the ease of installation (and yes, Stillen is easier to install than the others)....you have no place to talk.

hey dillweed, I didn't say the progress doesn't work also. I just said the stillen works, so how is it a waste of money?

if it didn't work - then THAT would be a waste of money. Does that AE engine cover make you go faster? If not, must be a waste of money....

see if I ever help you mod your car again.

dont make me come over there sparky
it is a waste of money because it does the SAME THING AS MINE DOES!!!
were your "smoked clear corners" a waste of money? no because you like the look of it. just like i did the engine cover for looks. it would have been a waste of money if i had bought a nismo engine cover for twice as much. because it does the same thing "looks good" even though anything nismo DOES NOT look good!!!
it is a waste of money to buy a nismo radiator cap that does the same thing.

bottom line, you paid for a name. just admit it
