Actually, it wasn't upside down. I had to 180 the entire bar (left to right....). It will fit the way I intially installed it, that's why I was confused. As soon as I reversed it, I wanted to kick myself. It took 1/4 of the time to install it the right way.

Thanks, for you help Deus. BTW, the production 24mm piece is stout! You may want to exchange your prototype (I'm sure they'll do that for you.)

Oh yea, I tested it. I drove to my office yesterday for that sole purpose. I've got some great turns going on and off interstates.

Maybe you should consider increasing the weights?

Sorry what I meant to say was try using a breaker bar rachet first with longer extentions to help increase the nut torqe for removal.

Ordered mine also

I ordered mine along with Catman lowering springs.

I will try just the sway bar at first, go for a little road test and then try it with the springs.

Muahahahahahahahahahah

my springs and RSB came in today!!!!

Question: what should go on first....The springs or wheels?

I am dying to try out the springs, but should I wait til I buy my 20"s before lowering the car??

Sorry, our website is out of date till the new one goes up, but there are plenty of these bars in the warehouse. The price is $149 + shipping. This isn't a selling forum, so send a PM or email if you're interested.

I need to give that some attention in the next month or two. As you can see under your own hood, its a difficult application. From a marketing perspective, its a good product for just that reason since there are no $35 generic FSTBs that will fit.

Our objective would be to go with the newer trend in FSTBs, where there are dual mounting points on each side, e.g. bolting on the top of the strut towers as traditionally occurs, plus bracing against a firewall or vertically against the strut tower itself. I haven't given this a good looking-at yet, but I didn't see a possibility of going the firewall route so we'd need to come up with another location.

I'm rambling, but those are some of the factors we'll have in mind when we get serious about the feasibility/design process.

Just had mine installed today, and I really have to say holy crap I seriosly cannot believe the difference that it made.

Ive put an intake, y pipe, and replaced resi in my car with straight pipe and now the cattman RSB, the RSB is by far the most worthy mod I have invested in.

HIGHLY RECOMENDED.

Cattman!!

I have had my 05 dropped with Eibach and no RSB, before, that sucked. I removed it right away rode stock for a little.
NOW I HAVE HAD MY CATTMAN SPRINGS AND RSB IN MY MAX FOR 1 MONTH ALL I CAN SAY IS THE COMBINATION IS AMAZING. IT A NEW CAR ALL OVER AGAIN.

EXIT RAMPS AT 90MPH ARE SO MUCH FUN!!!
