I received the Stillen RSB today and looking the instruction it stated the bar is for a 95-01. Does that mean the bar will fit a 2002 with some minor bending?

 

I know exactly what you are talking about...I had the same question when I got mine. I called Stillen and they told me it was fine for an '02 ---just old labels on the box I guess. It's confusing because their website says 96-01 or something like that for the part number.

Bottom line: it fits just fine; no bending required (though it is a nice tight fit).

Please note however that the instructions that come in the box do not note the change in how the ABS wire is run along the trailing arm (apparently changed mid way through 2001) and what you have to do to accomodate this. I strongly advise you start with Paul's install instructions at:

And then read this thread for the instruction changes for the '02 (my recent experience with the install; I did it one way but other advice is suggested -- read the thread all the way through):

Enjoy the RSB!

 

Good choice on getting the RSB. You'll love it!!! 2k2's shouldn't have a problem with fitment.
