I have the spohn piece and it is a quality piece. Heavy-duty and does a great job. Easy adjustability, and always straight line performance.

I would recommend the Wofle Anti Roll bar. I got mine through Thunder Racing. I did the install/welding my self. Very simple and straight forward. It has totally eliminated ALL of my cars body twist, you could put a level on the nose of my car and the bubble would not move on launch.

I'll take some pics tomorrow, I'll be changing oil etc on the car and have been meaning to take some pics of my rear suspension.

Hey D, Taner here is the guy you need to talk to about beefing up your tranny, and what all you'd need to do to it to make it live with the new set-up.

Are you going to drive on the street at all? The Wolf and Billingsley rear sway bar are a reported nightmare on the street but you can't go wrong with them at the track. If you're gonna take in on the street than the BMR extreme would be slightly better ride and offer about the same performance on the track, Suspension Technologies has a 22mm sway bar also if you'll have more street life and offer better performance than what you have now.

Its been a while since I've been around so the names of products may have changed so be nice

I love my BMR piece. Straight as an arrow and it seems fine on the street.

I've got the Billingsley anti roll bar and I honestly couldn't tell any difference on the street. It's built like the Wolfe. It all depends on what you're willing to put up with though, my car is pretty hardcore for the street but it really doesnt' bother me.

Since my car is mostly a street car, I'm looking at Spohn's 25mm bar. Looks like a good compromise (it mounts in poly bushings )

Like BMR, but do not want a solid mounted anything on my car

I have the Wolf anti-roll bar. Now the car leaves nice and level and doesn't **** and twist anymore. The car is not a daily driver, if it was I would most likely get the Sphon. I beleive the sphon is about 5-6lbs heavier than the wolf if not more. The Wolf comes in at 16 lbs.

Thanks alot for the replies my friends. Looks like a BMR or Spohn for me because I still do a lot of street cruising. I really don't think I would like a solid mount, hard core, full race setup....just yet...haaa.
