the UMI drag bar is solid ,so it mite weight more.the UMI bar is for 3" axle tubes ,the BMR you listed is for 2.75 axle tubes.measure your axle tubes before buying.

S60 uses 3" axle tubes... if you check out our installation pictures of our drag bar ad on our site its an S60. I hope that helps. Have a good weekend!

Here's the one you that will work for you:

http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.c...&productid=299


BMR redesigned our drag sway bar about 1 year ago. The new one is hollow (old one was solid), so it weighs less. We increased the diameter from 1.25" to 1.375". The bar also has 2 mounting holes. One hole is 1013% stiffer than the OE sway bar and the other one is 1632%. needless to say, this bar will keep even high horsepower cars level when they launch. Another new feature is that this drag bar is a complete bolt-on as well.

15% off and $9.95 shipping this weekend, so now is the time to buy if you can.

Short hole equals more roll resistance. A high hp car with slicks might need more rate than a cam only car on street tires. If you run a lower rate (longer hole) you can get a little bit of street comfort and/or a different launch. The best thing to do in a competition setting is to try both and take detailed notes.
