I'm looking into buying a rear sway bar and was wondering which one work better Stillen or Cattman? I know the the Stillen is adjustable but it's $$ compare to the Cattman. I've asked around and most of them lean more toward the Stillen. So guys let me know what you think...

they both do the job, if your auto crossing and you need to adjust them for some reason, then do stillen if your not cattman works just as great.

Yes, Brian is a very nice and professional person to deal with. Stillen is selling stuff and charging exuberant prices because of their name.

Deal with Brian. you will not be dissappointed.

yes, there is a difference... price is on major difference. Also the stealin unit is adjustable fore and aft. the unit the cattman sells in a non-adjustable one that most of the people on here are running unless they are heavy into autocross. I am not into autocross and I am running the cattman version and it works awesome!!!

Don't forget, there's an Addco one that works great! I'd imagine that they're going to be cheaper as well.

Addco makes the bar for Progress, they are the same thing, and Addco no longer sells their version.

+1 if no one is going to see it get ebay cuz it's cheap as dirt and for the front cattman with the money saved if you dont have one already.

unless you really, really, really want the adjustables and wanna spend $400+ on just a RSB, get stealin,

others, get progress, which works just fine

I got my for exactly the same price. I believe it was from cattman quite along times back. But um just to let you know, I experienced some chassis flex with the rsb.

you mean body roll...? swaybars dont stiffen your chassis. it just reduces body roll.

Odd...a steel bar should have stiffened the chassis if anything...

sway bars dont stiffen chassis. strut bars do.

Hmm , I'm trying to imagine it in my head, but since you have a bar the goes across the bottom and basically connects parts of the frame, wouldn't that stiffen the chassis?

I would never pay that much for an RSB. You could get SFC's for that.
