[s-cars] Friggin HAP RSB . . .

[Bob DG]

My RSB is sitting on the garage floor for this very reason (not to mention 
the audi sourced brackets are garbage). I think the RSB will fit much better 
with rear coilovers- which if I ever buy I might put the RSB back on (and 
figure out a better bracket than the Audi parts). Until then- anyone want to 
buy a hap RSB???
