I would just go to cattman and order it from Brian. Pay the little extra. You will be happier with the service and if there is anything wrong Brian will go the extra mile to correct it.

Yeah, what can I say, this has been a week of awesome deals:

3 month old Cattman RSB = $85
Brand new in the box Hayden 404 Tranny Cooler = $35
Brand new PIAA Xtreme White Light Bulb = FREE (shipping only)
Used H&R's = FREE (shipping only)

Now, if I could just find someone with some Axis 18's willing to give me an awesome deal like those.

What setting do you have it at? Stiff or less so? You're still on the stock suspension right?

Are you playing the "how many RSBs can I put on my Max at once" game?

No a different game - which RSB works best. My theory is that those 3 are all different stiffness. Addco<Stillen<knockoff

Had Progress bar first. It was a pain for me to install by myself. I then got the Stillen bar. It was a breeze to install and works great (but no better than the Progress bar). My vote is Stillen.

Sway bar comparisons

We'll I received the knockoff RSB. Bright blue as opposed to the Stillen grey color. It is not solid but hollow like the Stillen. Assuming the same steel is used they must be using a slightly thinner wall thickness. I'll run the numbers past some susp designers and see how the stiffness compares.

Addco 11lbs .875" diam (solid)
Knockoff 10.5lbs 1.2" diam (hollow)
Stillen 11.5lbs 1.125" diam (hollow)

Wow, 1.2" thick on the knockoff and some sellers are claiming as thick as 1.5". How does the knockoff's hardware compare to the stealins?
