[s-cars] ATTENTION: ALL RSB USERS- MUST READ- Was:Big 'ole RSB install

Dave,
If it is rubbing you'll notice that the paint will be
rubbed off the bar literally just above the cv boot.
Mark my words, your cv boot will eventually tear and
you'll have grease all over your wheel well. Keep an
eye on the bushings for bangage. If you start to see
dents then you need to flip your subframe bolts over.
Just my $.02 worth....
