Hey, I was wondering is there much difference between the Addco Front Strut Tower Brace versus the Stillen and how about the Cattman Performance Rear Sway Bar versus the Stillen. Stillen charges a marked difference compared to these two other brands and I was wondering if it was worth the dough. Also does anyone know any other retailers that sell Stillen other than Stillen (who I heard charges full price). Thanks and I love this board!

 

Cattman's is the addco. Stillen vs addco, the stillen is thicker and costs more. Both will do the job pretty much the same, theoretically stillen's should be a bit beefier but I've never heard anyone complain about the addco.

 

Which one does Courtesy sell? That one has red connectors. I also have my eye on one with blue connectors. Can the color be used to trace the manufacturer?

 

I also understand Stillen is easier to install. I don't know for sure, just what I've heard.

 

and it was extremely easy to install. It is one of the few things from stillen that I haven't had a problem with. Then again everyone I know with an Addco bar has loved it. The Stillen bar look more "aftermarket" or "pretty" that's really the only difference that i can tell.....

 

Want to thank yall for your opinion. I decided to go with the Stillen. Quite frankly the Cattman was a lot less for the FTSB it was $85 while Stillen was $179 and for the Addco Rear Sway Bar it was around 160 While Stillen was 227. Why did I buy the Stillen? Well I've bought their stuff in the past (Cone Filter and metal matrix brake pads) and have been very satisfied with the entire experience. Their people are very good from what I've experienced. When I called Cattman I was checking prices on these and an exhaust also and the woman asked "What is an exhaust?" Gee what if I had a real question? The money is not worth the chance of getting poor support and who knows how the product is. I'm not taking that chance with my car. -Chris

 

The major difference between Addco & Stillen RSB is that the Stillen model is adjustable. There is A LOT of range of adjustability. I have a Stillen & would buy one again despite the fact that I try to avoid Stillen when I can. As for FSTB, just get the cheaper one (Courtesy) unless you're going for superior looks. Then either go with Stillen or even better have one made. Stillen charges a grip for theirs!
