i was just looking into getting a RSB, i already have a FSTB on the way from courtesy, and i was wondering if the addco RSB is really any different from the Stillen RSB, cuz if there isnt any difference, why pay the xtra $100 or so?
also, i dont wanna get it shipped from CattmanPerformance [145 + 18 S&H], does anybody know how much Pepboys is selling it for?

I went through the Addco vs. Stillen RSB conundrum a while back and came up with $tealin as the winner. There was a lot of talk about squeaks, thumps and questionable bushing quality among the other forum memebers. However, others quickly came up as saying these were never problems for them.

When I looked at Paul's write up of the $tealin RSB install, I took one look at the brackets and thought it looked like a better fit. The FSTB was a no brainer. The two are pretty much identical in terms of how they're installed (they look completely different, I know). The RSB is another story.

This is just one forum member's opinion (persuaded by none other than the himself, punkdork) on which way to go.

Oh, and as for getting it at Pep Boys... I tried calling all over the state of CT trying to find it (early in the process) and everyone I spoke with said it was a special order item.

Cheers and good luck!

i bought the Stillen one because i'll have options to adjust my sway bar for different road conditions(such as hard canyon roads vs. oh well...everyday grocery getting..hehe)...
and it's really worth the money. i think...hmmm..
the ADDCO ones, you can't adjust at all...

the stillen RSB was a piece of cake to install. The hardest part was getting the wheels off cause the **** dealer overtightened the lugs when they rotated my tires
