What a pain in the butt! Anyways, I goofed the first time which made it a pain. I installed the brackets a little too far back so when I backed out of my driveway, CLUNK, that 3rd link hit the bar. I was like crap! So jack back up, tires back off, unbolted the whole thing, and moved all the links forward more. Stillen's picture SUCKS on there instructions and does not show the exact placement correct. I installed them again, and have the bar right under the front lip of our beam.
Impressions:
I am extremly impressed after a 10min drive tossing the car around, taking some high-speed turns on a road and the car just stuck, and didn't lean near as much as it use too! The car just feels like it wants more but the tires aren't that great so they start giving out.
I like!

Congrats
After having the RSB on for a few weeks you will wonder why you didn't have it on the whole time. Whats up next on your mod hit list? Y-pipe? Springs?

Phat, also, nothing planned next for a bit, I need to do other things than car for a while... heheheheh. So its good enough for the moment, but after a bit, body kit is next, then maybe springs and shocks (after thenewclimax) gets his GC setup, I want a ride to see how it is.

Nice install Russ. I want to know what happened to, "I don't have money for expensive mods"? You have been at a mod a week rate for the past three weeks I think!
Are you going to drive down for Maxus? We'll have to park the twins along side one another.
