Installed the 2k2 stillen rsb tonite

Not quite as easy as the (vague stillen) intructions say thats for sure. After bending abs wire clips and such, success was still the outcome. This is the proper bar with the 5 holes in it so it lines up right underneath the solid beam. Anyone who says this mod doesnt make a difference..................What color is the sky in your world? Definitely worth it. Keep in mind i already have the stillen fstb, h&r's and 19inch tires. But it definitely made a difference as the last handling component.(untill jic coilovers)

Nice ride yourself. I didnt find the ride much different than the stocks se springs. A bit stiffer but not bouncy at all. My only beef, as many others on the board here, is that the car is not low enough for me. Im hesitant to cut one coil out of the front, but if i dont get the jic coilovers, i might. You will just love the way the car handles once you get the fstb and rsb. Im a beliver now.

ya it definetly makes a difference, i have the 4 hole one though and it barely got it to fit, it was tough to get it under the rear beam but i got it to then i got pipe insulation and wrapped it with that just in case it wants to clank or anything hits it. this bar is on it's 3rd car, i bought it used and put it on my 95 now my 2k2 and i loved it everytime.

Maybe you guys could describe the difference the rsb and the fstb makes. With the shock towers being so close to the firewall it's hard for me to see the value and really the same with the rsb. With the beam axle what good can it do? Thanks!
