I got my Cattman RSB installed 4 months ago, August 20th i think, and the car felt awsome after it was installed, but im not sure its working anymore... whenever i turn i notice body roll and im not sure it was there before... mabye its i nmy head but i could have sworn the car was stiffer before..... anyone else experience this???

 

It might be in your head, or you might just want to get underneath and check the sway bar and check to make sure it is still fitted correctly and the bolts are tight.

 

Good idea...

Does moving the U bolts inward or outward on the rear axle have any effect on the stiffness at all??

 

you probably got used to it.... take the RSB off and then try to do the same things...

 

Funny enough, I noticed the same thing with my Stillen RSB. When I checked, the nuts were very loose. Try that first.

sh*t looks cheap but works awesome.......i sometimes i hear this clunking noise when i hit certain bumps or potholes.

Is this normal? And what exactly is that clunking noise coming from?
Is the sway bar hitting something?

 

Does the bar seem vewry low?

Yes ... check under the passenger side of the RSB.

If you're RSB brackets look anything like this: http://maximaproducts.com/meets/101301/images/rsb1.jpg

Then you have to move the bracket in towards the center or over the right as much as possible.

i think it's just in your head..but just to make sure it isn't, simply un-do the RSB and then test drive your car. Re-do the RSB and try if it's any different. you can also try stiffer urethane end bushings to make it little bit more flatter.

btw. i got your email, but i didn't have time to send you one. i just came back from Las Vegas and i don't have any picture of my car after the complete bodykit. i'm going to take them soon so i'll try to send you some as soon as i do.

 

Its okay don't worry about it, when ever you get the chance to send them, i appreciate it... my kit should be here monday or wednesday... and i have an appt on thurs to get it put on... pics should be up friday evening.

also does moving the brackets on the RSB toward the OUTSIDE of the car improve the feel of the rsb? Does moving the brackets INWARD lessen the feel of the RSB?

And should i only do this when my car is on a lift or is it okay to move one bracket at a time while my car is on the ground?

 

Actually by brackets are dented just like these

 

In that case, like I suggested, move the right bracket in towards the center or out towards the side. When we moved it out towards the side, the next time we checked, it still got bent slightly, but only a little bit.

 

should both brackets be moved in towards the center to keep
everything symmetrical?

and once it's moved in towards the center will it effect performance?

 

You can move only one, no problem. Moving the bracket toward the center of the car will soften the effect slightly, moving them out stiffens it. You can also adjust the trailing arm mounts (though there's brackets etc. in the way) forward is softer, rearward is stiffer, but this isn't huge compared to with and without.
