Id say if anything, the front Addco/PST is TOO stiff and makes the van jerk around at higher speeds when you need to change lanes. the front one IS thicker+stiffer than a stock westy bar, but the hardware it comes with is crap and doesnt fit well. i had to machine out one of the bar's holes just to fit the hardware that the kit CAME with!! and the sales guy at PST acted like it wasnt a big deal! I'd say the front PST bar is a bit too stiff IMO. rear pst bar needs to drill into your frame to fit 'L'-brackets, hard to do if you dont have pics as both sides are different AND the bracket comes REALLY close to the lower swing arm. i hope along with the name change they improved the one-page, 1950's-typewriter written instuctions that the kits come with.
