hahaha
she's making some torque!!!
Good thing both wheels weren't in the air, haha-then it gets interesting.
BMR drag bar is good, I use the Spohn dragbar. You have to weld the endlink tabs but if you don't weld you can bolt it up yourself and drive to the welder.

We would be glad to help That would cure a huge part of the problem and the car would feel completely different.

You can also get it through Vengenance Racing if you prefer or if you have any questions please ask, we are glad to help!

I can get you the Wolfe anti-roll (which would really be all you need in a rear sway bar) for $359. It is a weld-on piece, but I can walk you through the steps over the phone. Give me a call at 225-673-3533 if you're interested.

Sort of incorrect, Spohn is not like UMI as Spohn interferes with Aftermarket shocks like QA1's and UMI's tabs allow for bolting up and like said driving to the welder.

I have tons of BMR on the car and this is my 1st UMI product on the car but I must say I am impressed with this peice. BMR is IMO slightly better saddle peiced for the bar to axle connection but thats bout it.

With the Front Sway off, putting on Boxed BMR Weld in SFC's and UMI drag bar, the car has become enjoyable again.

Thanks for the comments and I am glad to hear you liked the bar.

Really the difference on the saddles is we supply ours with teeth machined in them so they dig into the axle when tightened. This allows users to bolt them in place, although welding is always going to be best. We also supply them with 4140 chrome moly u-bolts and capped ends to prevent them from ever spreading. The BMR piece is the same thickness as ours with out the teeth and with out the u-bolts, so it is weld in only. We just tried to offer ours as a bolt on option with welding recommended. They both would work well.

Here is an example of the UMI saddle mount- http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...2244ae_LRG.jpg

Hope that helps!
