what other upgrades can you buy the money you saved by not going with cattman or stillen FSTB? Big brakes? Turbo? SC? Coilovers?

Get one off eBizzay if you want to save money, if you want a fancy finish and a name brand buy one of those, they all do the same thing.

alright mental giant, the cattman FSTB is $195 plus maybe shipping and tax, ebay ones are around $20-40 shipped. if you have no better use for the $150+, then by all means pay for the name. i would say for $150 you can get youself an ebay CAI, cosmetic upgrades suchs light headlights or tailights, or spring coilovers, or lowering springs, or a cattman rear antisway bar

what is wrong with cheap, functional parts like the ebay CAI tube with a k&n filter? the rear sway bar itself is a good enough upgrade to justify the ebay strut bar.
