Stillen vs. Cattman/Addco/Progress RSB

I've looked through 30 pages and haven't found anything. if only i can search....

Has anyone ever compared these two designs? I know both will basically do their job, but has anyone run both and pros/cons of each?

Stillen:

Catman gets my vote. I like the fact that it has polyurethane bushings that dampen the suspension. Insall was easy and ride is very nice. Check through some of the recent threads for more opinions.

I bought the Cattman for it's price. even if the Stillen is better I hear it's only marginally better. I'll try to get mine installed this weekend.

No, the install is very easy as long as you have the right tools. An extra pair of hands never hurts also.
