I'm thinking about ordering a Cattman FSTB and RSB on the group deal since it's still going on until friday. $265 seems a little steep, but i read another thread that says that cattman is offering a $139 RSB shipped. my question is should i just order the RSB or go ahead and get the FSTB also for another $120. just wanting an opinion. does a FSTB help as much as a RSB does?

 

RSB = a huge improvement in handling
FSTB = very subtle difference in handling

I would get the RSB and call it a day. FSTB would be after I get the more important mods.

 

Get the strut bar from somewhere else. You can get it on ebay or SWA for <$50.

 

I'm also getting the FSTB and RSB in the near future. I don't see why you would spend 265 for a FSTB and RSB, when you can just buy them separate, I'm paying 40 for the FSTB from an .org member and 139 from Cattman, both prices are shipped, 180 is much better than 265.

 

Got the Cattman FSTB and Progress RSB both from Cattman. Works for me. I was willing to pay more for the FSTB because I like the looks. All FSTB will do the job. It all depends how you want your engine bay to look.

 

Is it worth it ....yes....but Ebay is the source for a better price for both.....

 

I have to admit that the cattman fstb is the better looking one out of the many i have seen.

 

Get both!
High speed cornering will be greatly improved with the FSTB, and it will eliminate that uncontrollable boat feel at 80mph.

The RSB will keep the car flat in any conditions and will be more noticeable at all speeds.

I love Cattman products but I have to agree with everyone else here, $20 for FSTB (ebay) and $110 for RSB.

 

 

i kinda like my arospeed. that cattman looks sick tho

I have the Otto on my 92se and there was a huge difference. I do however think you feel the difference alot more after you get new springs. There wasn't as much of a difference when I put it on my Dads 2000 SE 5spd. Cant really comment on the 5th gen RSB though, but on my 3rd gen it made a night and day difference, however it is a completely different setup (IRS vs. beam)

I didn't think about taking a picture of it when I put it on the 5th gen though

 

do the ebay RSB's come with all the hardware? I took a look at some of them and they didn't seem to have all of the hardware.....

for those who have bought one off of ebay can you post the sellers name? that would be great.

Thanks

 

get the cattman rsb but an ebay fstb. u can get one for like 20 shipped, and yes, the fstb off ebay comes with everything u need

 

RBS - HUGE diffirence
FSTB - cosmetic mod to me
