I have the Cattman FSTB. I like it, very high quality. Nifty red end brackets too.

I've got the Addco RSB. It definately adds a nice feel to the ride. Especially in corners. I do get a clunk from the rear if my GF is in the car too and we cross this one bump by my apartments. I haven't been able to tell what is making the noise, possibly the bar and exhaust hitting? Everywhere else, including more extreme bumps at much higher speeds and its fine.

Install was a pain, you definately want to get it up on jackstands and remove the wheels for the install. A friend is helpful too. Read the install docs on here if you're gonna do it yourself. Also Stillen is supposed to be an easier install.

I've heard concerns of reliability vs. the Stillen RSB. I can tell you Addco offers a lifetime warranty. I've only had it on the car for a few weeks so who knows.

Over all though I couldn't justify to myself the extra cost of Stillen nor did I want to support their company. Cattman on the otherhand was a pleasure. My Mom bought it for me for Christmas, afterwards I noticed Cattman had posted a discount for Max.Org members. I told my mom and she contacted Cattman and he cheerfully gave her the discount after the sale was already complete.

This got kind of long didn't it. If you have any other questions feel free to AIM or email me.
