Default rear swaybar reccomendations

cars still street driven a good amount...as for only weekends and stuff....im not too picky but dont want my car to be a rattle trap...
as for now ive got all chromoly suspension all of its rod/poly
how bad is a swaybar that is mounted to the body with welde tabs???

anyways id love to get something thats badass now with poly so i dont have too much ratteling and clanking...and later on be able to swap out the ends for solid...although i dont think its goana be possible ill settly for something thats really good with poly ends....any reccomendations?

I am satisfied with my Suspension Techniques 1-inch rear bar. It uses stock-style poly links. It helped reduce my 60' time.

I don't think you will find a good drag bar with poly ends, because you can't consistantly preload the chassis with a poly bushing.

I'd suggest going rod end now, buy once and be done with it. Wolfe makes a good piece, so does bmr, spohn and the trz piece looks nice as well. Any and all of them will work.

For street/strip use get the BMR. It will be the best quieter than most.

+1 for BMR. Best bar on a street driven car.

The wolfe bar is the ****. If you unhook one heim joint then it makes zero noise.

You can get a really good deal on the BMR bar from TBYRNE. It was only a few bucks more than the Spohn bar. I'm really happy with it so far.
