RSB installation party at my house today!

Finally installing Stillen RSB on my car today as well as another one on Siri's ride, a 2002 GLE. Siri's -that's not his org name but his real name..I cant remember the handle he uses on the org.
Party time!

Hehe, my RSB never made it in the house. I put it on with my car flat on the ground and tools in my trunk.

Don't forget some poly safe waterproof grease for the bushings.

DONE!! Both cars in 2hrs...not bad, methinkst

WHEEE...whatta difference, I cant believe I waited so long to go this!

BRW, my friends' ride is 2002 auto GLE...nice ride...I cant believe how much quieter the 3.5 is compared to the 3 liter -and how much more low-end torque it has...

Also installed mine tonight! Took Max for a 5 min. spin around the neighborhood, and felt the difference immediately, with less swaying on turns. Will take it out for a longer drive tomorrow, and maybe get a better gauge on the improvement with the RSB install.

Hmmm... is greasing the bushings necessary? i mean on the three write-up's that i researched before puttin on mine said nothing about lubing the bushings... just checking to make sure i won't have any prob's later on.

thanks

I didn't do that on mine. I didn't need to that. For those who did it on theirs, can you shed some light?

There are no bushings with the Stillen Kit, I think there are on the Addeco kit. BTW this mod rocks. Anyone thinking of buying a FSTB before doing this is nuts.

I had the FSTB first, then both FSTB and RSB, then just RSB, and I think you need both for the best results. I now have both back on and it rides great. New struts\shocks and lowering springs are next .
