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.

I have the same set-up as chernmax and I have had no problems with it.

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.
