Stillen RSB questions

Hello All Stillen RSB Owners,

A couple of questions:

1. Does the bar "bang" against the rear axle under hard cornering or when encountering a big bump?

2. Is it still possible to use the axle as a jack point?

Thanks All.

1. no banging here.... make sure everything is aligned correctly and tight.

2. If you have enough clearance to stick a jack there, yes. But, don't use the RSB as a jack point.

RSB

the car should be mounted directly under
the rear axle. i had to grind off a brake
line bracket for the RSB bracket. i had
the same problem but now the ride and install
is flawless. use factory jack points.

the 'bang' happens if you don't align the bar correctly..make sure the bar clears the rear control arm housing. if u lined up the RSB right under the beam, it won't bang any longer..

u can use the axle as a jack point. but do try using the factory jack points most times..

Would you guys care to show some photo's of your RSB installation? I, for one, have no idea what the rear control arm housing is
