Rear sway

I'm getting ready to order the rear sway from Stillen. I just wanted to know if anyone had any alignment problems from the install.

RSB has no effect on alignment

I don't think you have to worry about that. Did you do a search? maybe others have had alignment problems, but from what I can tell, i have had none. When you get it make you tighten the bolts and nuts. If you get a torque spec, please let me know.

If there is a paper telling you how many lbs of torque to tighten to.

i've heard good things about the Addco Rear Anti-Sway Bar. Is the stillen as good, better or worse... Which is better for handling, FSTB or RSB? Sorry for all the questions....Thanks

granted i am pretty inexperienced with hands on applications just cause i recently got my car. however i tend to be very **** about what i put on my car and from everyone ive talked to (on the forum and in shops) that the stillen strut bar and rear sway are great mods and worth buying from "Steallin". Other than that i dont have any technical reasons supporting my claim, just opinions from others. But im not familiar with the sawy you talking about.

can't give a comparison between the Addco and the Stillen RSB (besides price..addco is much cheaper) but I can say that I have the Addco RSB and as Tony the Tiger would say, "it's grrrrrrreeaat!"

Handling is much improved and the Addco RSB diminished body roll significantly.
