Well, I would have been done with my rsb shortly after I removed the old one but: On my 98 OBS, the passenger side mounting braket, access to the front bolt was actually being blocked by the filler tube. Since I have a lot of experience in doing thing I immediately regreted. I drove around looking for a crowsfoot to get to the bolt etc. But after getting back under I decided to just use a wrench and anchor it againt the bolt and fabricate a cheater bar to "move" the filler tube out of the way-where it belongs (I guess after 10 years it had settled over the bolt-not anymore). There always seems to be something like this when I work on my subie. Just wish I had a heated garage and lots of light. Maybe not, I would always be working on it then.

In the beginning I just didn't want to mess with anything having a connection to fuel and the gas tank. Well, I guess I grew a pair and figured it out.

btw, driving around without a rsb is really interesting.

I want to disconnect my RSB for giggles.
It's always a good time, fiddling with things that you might regret later.

Do you have another picture, zoomed out a bit?

install done (finally), I don't have no more pictures sorry. I would think with no swaybar you need good rates on your coilovers eh? I can't see removing it for rallyx with stock struts/springs-maybe pseudo rock crawling/off roading.

I also installed the cheapo $27 front strut bar-cause it looks cool mostly

i have no rsb due to the Brighton but im running forester coils and gr2s and the oversteer isn't bad, but then again i don't really have anything to compare it against
