Just a heads up for those who have this combination (personally, Whiteline RSB with H&R springs), if you run the bar on the stiff (inner) setting, may experience some clunking on uneven surfaces. To give you a better idea, the ends of the RSB are actually making contact with the cup area of the lower control arm, causing the noise. I don't have a pic of the exact situation at the time, but I plan on posting one soon. There's not much clearance between those two components. The solution is to grind down the end of the bar about 1/4 to 3/8" at a 30* angle to avoid contact. The more extreme solution is to remove the softer setting from the bar, if you plan on running on the stiff setting all the time.
Here are a few pics of my bar before and after a little grinding on the corner to show the difference:
Stock vs. Whiteline (note the difference in endlink mounting position on the WL):
WL without trimming (I didn't do much at all):
WL with the corner trimmed:
Here's a few spots you could trim it more to see what difference it makes:
Option 1: 30* (approx) cut to allow adjustment
Option 2: remove 'soft' setting from bar
With Option 2, you need to be careful to make sure that you don't remove too much material around the mounting point for the endlink. This area will be crucial for not compromising the bar and destroying the mounting tab. With that said, this should help eliminate clunking for those of you seeing it.
