There wasn't any problems installing the bar and it looks fine. I noticed that the sides of my Addco bar do not 'bend' as much as the rsb displayed on Cattman's website. The angle at which each side bend is 'straighter' than the one shown on their website. Is that ok?

That is a first, though it might not be a prob -->

Mine is identical (in shape that is) to the one in Catman's page.
If yours fits then it might be a new model or version. As long as the part that connects the sides of the suspension (sides of the car) to the main transaxel (the beam that runs across from wheel to wheel) maintains the same outline (from the side to the bottom) then you are Ok.
Ocassionally, after spirited driving, specially with tight curves that force the suspension to angage the added stability offered by the saw bar, you might hear (upon comming to a rest) a light clonking soung, what this means is that the U fasteners on the sides underwent stress beyond the allowed motion permitted by the busings and are returning to their normal position. This is much worse when the fasteners are not tight enough and is very mild (if not at all) when they are tight enough.
Enjoy the ride.
