I put my sway bar on today but unfortunately it is very icy out so I can't test it out. I was suprised with how easy it was to install. Took me about an hour and a half, without the benefit of a lift. I just jacked the car up and went to work. WIth a lift one could for sure do it in under an hour. So far no creaking or noise from it either. How pleased are other people with there sway bars? Will this make my 99Se a totally different handling car?

I love my Addco RSB I went the cheap route to save on the ever expensive Stillen products. I think it's a great mod and definitely keeps the car more planted. This summer I may take it off just so that I can feel the difference again. I put on my RSB and FSTB within a week of each other, so I wasn't able to really appreciate the upgrades much.

The RSB makes a huge difference, and my Addco has never squeaked once.

Congrats on the RSB. I have a Addco RSB, but i never really got to experience it to the fullest. Its been snowing here and snow tires are not the way to go for speed and cornering. I havent had any squeeking noise from my Addco but watch out, the RSB stands out a lot. People are going to know you are not so stock anymore.

I felt the same way when I first saw the bar. I painted it matte black to achieve the stealthy look.

I got addco too, works great. I don't see how the more expensive one would be any better.
