Rear Sway Bar Options

Anybody think one manufacturer is better than another?

Anybody know the prices? I found a Progress RSB for $148 plus $20 shipping on ebay. My cousin says Cattman sells them for $139 plus shipping.

Thanks.

Progress made the cattman rsb so bascially they are the same. You can get the progress cheaper on customenterprise for 139 plus 13 dollars shipping as opposed to the ebay link, also there is the stillen and addco rsb to consider.

Looks like there are a couple options, Cattman abd Progress, for $139. Anybody know whether one is better than the other?

The Cattman bar is the Progress bar.

The Stillen one is the only bar that could be said to be clearly better than the Progress bar, and that's because it's adjustable.

Common opinion is that the Progress bar is somewhat adjustable, because you can alter the handling characteristics (firmness of the bar) by changing the position of the 2 brackets on the trailing arms.

each bar is pretty much as adjustable as any other. the stillen is just easier because of the braket style. i've had the addco for three years and have never touched it after the initial install. i'll wager that 95% of people with a RSB never, ever, ever adjust it.
