IMHO
- Okay, in many aspects, Stillen has sold out. About half of their products do nothing, like the HKS TwinPower Ignition system (although they don't directly make it).
- For instance, their FSTB is well over $100, compared to $85 for a Cattman or Courtesy. The answer: the Stillen bar is needlessly made of solid aluminum for a handling effect that is not necessary and that will never be felt. Some parts are better, like their RSB vs. an Addco model. The Stillen's is adjustable and clamps right to the trailing arms, unlike the Addco which has poly bushing that must compress before allowing the bar to work. In that respect, the Stillen is better. Some things are just blatant rip-offs, like the "Metal Matrix" pads, which flat out suck - buy Porterfields.
- You just have to be careful what you buy. Always consult this site and do your homework. You'll find your answers.
