Addco or Stillin RSB

Which is better, quieter, etc? Also... What does the "Urethane bushing" upgrade enhance?

Buy the Addco. It's half the price of the Stillen and it works just as well. I would have purchased the Addco had it been available when I bought my Stillen RSB.

The ADDCO now always comes with red urethane bushings. I got mine 1 and 1/2 years ago like that. I guess in 95 or so, the ADDCO came with rubber bushings and optional urethane. I noticed that in my instructions.

Hmmm... As some of you know I've been debating between Modded KYB AGXs and Tokico Blues... If I go with KYBs I'd have to wait 2-3 weeks for the RSB... If I buy Tokicos I have enough for the Adco + extra.

There are ALOT of Tokico haters out there. Whatever issue Tokico had before, I think they're OK now. I've had H&R/Tokico blues for 35K miles now. No problems. Well, my H&Rs are clunky but that's something else. If you don't need the adjustability, then save a buck or 2 and get the Toks. Another thing, the KYBs are also stiffer than Tokicos. I don't know about everyone else, but my new Tokicos were stiffer than my original stock SE, so KYBs must be pretty hard.

The black ones can also be poly urethane. Probably are, but don't quote me. Bushings from energysuspension.com are black and they are poly urethane.
