Like he said, they are all the same... its just a matter of price....

Actually, some are easier to adjust that others, and some not even adjustable... but no one really bothers to adjust em... unless you're gonna auto-x or something....

Btw, if ya do a search, you'll find more threads and more opinions on this, since many people ask this periodically... instructions for how to search using Google and Yahoo are in the Stickies, since you're not a donor....

I heard that they are pointless. They are just a brace and serve no purpose.

He's asking about an RSB = Rear Sway Bar or Rear Anti-Sway Bar... I think you're thinking of an RSTB = Rear Strut Tower Brace/Bar.

Btw, the RSTB isn't pointless, its just not as noticeable when compared to an RSB or LTB...

You can buy what looks to be like a stillen rsb off ebay for ~$160.

I bought a Stillen rsb for my I30 because I like the contoured brackets Stillen uses to attach the sway bar to the axle, and it's adjustable. I didn't care too much for the pipe clamp type brackets that the Cattman setup used. Took me about 2 hours to install the Stillen and that's because I did not remove the rear tires. Now the ride is quite flat when I go into a turn, even my wife noticed the change in handling. I only wish they made a beefier fsb, although I think the one for the I30t is slightly larger in diameter.

Yeah I know... thanks... just waiting to see how much money I'm getting back from the IRS this year...

I actually had one lined up locally, but that didn't work out, so I'm looking again...
