Cattman Suspension Mods?

I'm close to ordering the Cattman FSTB and RSB. The mods are a little expensive but seem like quality products (titanium FSTB). Plus I've always heard good things about Cattman. Are these mods worth the $$$? Does anyone have them installed?

Thanx.

Also, I understand that the RSB is made by Progress for Cattman. I heard there were some difficulties in the install, is this true?

I have the Progress rear adjustable sway bar from Cattman and there were no fitment problems whatsoever. Not difficult to install either...

I have the progress (cattman) RSB on my max. you cant really feel it on normal driving, but when u take a hard turn (usually when ur car starts squeeling and feels like its gonna flip), it helps, and you will feel a sort hugging point where the rsb "kicks in". hehe. I like mine. Hope this helps.

I installed the progress bar without difficulty. I think it is the best $$$ I've spent on the max. I notice a difference in every turn.

cattman is good stuff, but you are throwing $$ down the toilet with a titanium FSTB. It's all show and doesn't work ANY better than a $20 ebay FSTB. Period.

If you're going for show, get it. Otherwise get a cheap FSTB and spend the leftover $$ on some other mod...

Ok thanx for the info...

For the FSTB, are the cheap ones on ebay basically the same product I'd get from Stillen? The Cattman is the only FSTB I've seen made out of titanium but for $200...I'd rather save some money....unless its actually worth it....?

If you were talking about exhaust it would be a different story, but the FSTB's are quite similar in their performance whether you spend $20 or $200. Save up for other mods is my suggestion.

AFAIK, you cannot order the cattman FSTB right now. i love the look of it, so thats the one im holding out for. i spoke with brian, who explained to me the situation with the bar, and said they would hopefully be working things out soon. even SCO doesnt have any in stock, so unless you can find someone selling it used, or a store online that has left over stock, its Otto, Stealin, or Ebay.
