No more Addco RSB at Cattman??

Okay, so I finally got off my lazy butt and picked up the phone to buy an Addco rear sway bar from Cattman. I've been thinking of buying one for a long time, but today was the day, you know? And Lori at Cattman says they don't sell the Addco any more, they sell a Progress RSB. So what I'm wondering, is what kind of experience do you all have with this Progress RSB, what have you heard, etc? The Addco was $120 and the Progress is $110. Lori said the Progress is "sturdier". I would normally do a SEARCH, but that's not working...

Thanks!

Tony

the progress RSB is apparently designed by cattman and is supposedly a better fitment than the addco. i have the addco, and yes it was a tight fit, but it did fit. havne' heard anyone say anything about the cattman/progress rsb but im sure based on cattman's reputation that it's a good product. he's also working alongside progress to create a full coilover system.

Re: No more Addco RSB at Cattman??

The Addco and Cattman/Progress RSBs are almost the same.

Cattman was continually frustrated with Addco's product and support, so the Cattman/Progress RSB was born. I have one of these and it works just fine. And the price is great! Progress makes an RSB for the Sentra I have, but it costs a lot more, so for the Maxima you're getting a good value.

I've had mine on since the winter and I love it. A good quality bar with a grey paint job that doesn't stick out like many other bars I've seen. You can't beat the price either.
