Do you use your adjustable RSB?

I really want to put a RSB on my 99 SE, and I know the two major ones are the expensive Stillen (those two words go hand in hand) and the Addco. I know the major difference is that the Stillen is adjustable and the other isn't. Im wondering, for those of you who have the Stillen, now that you have it, how big of an asset is it being adjustable? And to those of you with the Addco, do you regret not getting a Stillen adjustable one, or hasnt it been an issue with you?

Right now Im leaning towards the Addco, I dont race or Auto-X, I just like taking winding roads quickly, so crawling under my car to adjust it dosen't sound like much of a selling point. I just got he car two weeks ago, I have a bomz racing (ebay) FSB on the way and clear corners coming.

One other quick question having nothing to do with strut tower and sway bars. I see alot of people doing the Home Depot grill, and I like the way it looks, But what i like the looks of even more is the grill onthe new Jaguar S-Type-R. Its kind of a woven looking thing. Anyone know about that stuff, where to get it, if you can get it, and has it ever been put on a max before?

Sorry for the long post, Im a newbie with questions and I couldn't find strong answers in the search.

addco will do fine - you dont want to go under your car every 2 seconds adjusting it

I have the Addco and I don't regret the lack of adjustability. Actually it is adjustable, just not as much as the Stillen. The front connectors on the Addco can be adjusted more toward the rear or front of the control arm, to stiffen or soften the bar (prolly about a 20-30% difference at the most from one extreme to the other). FWIW, I set mine to about the middle of it's possible range, and I can immediately tell the difference when I'm decelerating into a tight turn.

I got my Stillen RSB from another org member(for less than $100!!!) when he moved up to a 5th gen.

It works as well as I expected, so I haven't felt any need to adjust it.
