Guys,
Does anyone know which rsb is better addco or stillen? somehow addco is on sale at custommaxima and seems to me that addco have more bolts and nuts as compared to stillen.

 

I don't have any experience with the stillen, but i have the addco and im very happy with it, pretty easy to install and the price is right. Noticed an improvement over the stock suspension right away.

 

I can't compare both but if you're interested in the Addco bar, i've organized a group deal (check the Group Deal forum, or click on my sig) for it at $115 shipped. This is c/o Cattman Performance.

The deal ends on May 20 btw.

 

This has been asked several times... consensus seems to be:

1. they provide equally effective roll control, both are adjustable
2. the Stillen bar looks cool
3. the Addco/Cattman bar has to be adjusted correctly or it will clunk against the link in bumps
4. the Stillen bar can be adjusted to allow for using the beam to lift both rear wheels, compromising desired roll control
5. the Stillen is easier to install, the Addco/Cattman can be more difficult but still fairly easy for someone who knows their way around a workbench. Neither is a pliers-and-a-screwdriver type of job.
6. the Addco/Cattman bar is cheaper; the Stillen bar is... well... $tillen
7. and finally, the Stillen bar looks cool (did I say that already?)

Your choice...

Has anyone had the Addco RSB for a long time and had the bushing wear out yet?

 

also stillen's bar is bigger....

 

If you get the stillen, it will rust itself to your car, haha. Addco doesn't do that

 

Ive only had mine on for a month or so,I hope the bushings dont wear out too quick

 

i too have the Stillen i am very happy and didnt mind dishing out the Cash for this mod

 

The Addco bar sold by Cattman has lubricated urethane bushings, not rubber bushings. They don't squeak, have firmer take-up and while I wouldn't say they never wear out the rest of the suspension's bushings will need replacing well before the RSB's. And when you do, it is adviseable to use the same type of bushings (also sold by Addco) throughout the suspension for better handling and longer lasting performance.

Isn't that because it is also hollow, i.e., tubular?

Doesn't affect performance, though. By all accounts, the Addco and Stillen bars are both equally effective.

i wanted to add that the STILLEN bar looks cool..
but then again when i bought my suspension i did FSTB,RSTB, and RSB
i wanted to be uniform.
