Cattman and Progress are the same RSB. I believe Stillen is not
as thick.

the handling, cattman w/ the racingline endlinks are amazing, taking the car somewhat sideways and you still maintain full control with very little body roll. with my endlinks, i added a bit of preload and it transisitions the turns very nicely!!!

Stillen, just as good as cattman, and gets better if also using racingline endlinks. I also dropped a set of KYB AGX 8-way adjustable gas shocks and really tightened up the rear end. My Eibach drop helps as well...

I agree to all of this.

Based on earlier posts here, the Cattman is also thicker.

Xcept Stillen is Hallow..... I'm pretty friggin sure you would have bought the cattman if it was out when you were getting yours. Considering its stiffer, not hallow and 2mm thicker.

In ALL SERIOUSNESS, why the hell would somone buy a hallow sway bar for $159 plus shipping from Stealin?.............

Stillen

When he can get the Cattman for $125 ($109 + shipping) as per current GB,
from an accredited vendor here on the forum??

I see a general trend here, people that ride on Eibachs usually end up getting the stillen. People that have done a touch of reaserch end up with Progress Springs and the Cattman sway bar.

Also when was the last time a person from Stillen has posted here on the forum to answer one of our questions about their product.

Just my .02

Pre-load adds tension to the bar, thus every little transition has a direct response on the bar. So your suspension travels less to cause the sway bar to react.

TAZ- do you want to hop in here.
