Personally if I was building a drag race/street car, I'd go with whatever swaybar was thick enough to allow me to leave straight. If my car was leaving straight on the stock bar, I'd keep the stock bar. I'm assuming it has to do with your tires, power, traction, etc

Both will do the exact same thing. Buy based on specs, not Brand name. BMR and Spohn are both good companies. That said: Spohn.

yeah agreed they are both similar but the BMR is 1-1/4" in diameter and the Spohn is 1-5/16"

Im a little partial here but i have to go with our bar. We feel that the 1.25" solid steel bar that we designed is the perfect size. We also use 5/8" QA1 xr series rod ends to compliment this setup. This kit also includes all grade 8 hardware. The bar can withstand anything that you can throw at it. We have several of our customers that run this bar and are deep into the 7's.
