Default rear sway bar???

alright i need a rear sway bar for my rear. i had to rmeove the stock one and i also removed the front. i am looking to come out of the gate as hard as i can. what sway bar should i go with. BMR, SPOHN, or Billingsley? the only thing about the billingsley is the welding.
right now my rear set up is,
QA1 adj, spohn PHB, LCA, TA, 9" rear. stock springs.

My money goes to the Spohn drag swaybar - you have to check and see if it fits a 9" though.

I just got the Spohn, it works great. There is some welding with the Spohn though. The endlink mounts have to be welded but you could install the bar yourself and drive it over to the shop for welding after.

It will make the rear stay flat so as long as you have some sfc's it should also keep the front from twisting so much

my front and rear bars are from SUSPENSION TECHNIQUES...bought them over 6 years ago---hollow and light but strong..I imagine all the companies make good ones.

Is this the Spohn bar you are talking about?

http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1333

Some one said something clearance with a 9". Are there any issues?

Is this mostly a street car? If so I recommend this Spohn swaybar:

That's what I run on my car. Comes out straight.

Mine comes out nice with that bar too. If you don't want the install hastle and the noise/handling of the solid rod end bar, then this is a good alternative for a mild set up.

That is the bar I have too. EFFING works awesome, no welding or any of that bull. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Exactly. That would have been my vote. Not that the others aren't good, it's just that I only have experience with the BMR and the Wolfe. I think the Billingsley is very similar based on pictures that I have seen, but I can vouch first hand for the Wolfe.
