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

[Trevor Frank]

Someone asked about using stock non-adjustable links, bad idea. With
this much pressure you need to be able to adjust the links on level
ground.

Install tip.
Install one link then place car on level ground adjust other drop link
and install.

Otherwise you will be jacking weight around, cause uneven ware on your
tires and damage your handling, "it turns good right but not left".

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....
