Sam Strano 22mm hollow rear bar, Pics :)
I finally got a chance to install the Strano 22mm hollow bar (Red powdercoat). Powdercoated the saddle brackets with Silver Chrome, endlinks are Red & Silver Chrome. I have to say this bar is a much better fit on the MOSER 12 bolt rearend. The previous BMR (21mm solid) rear bar hung down quite a bit from the bottom of the center section on the MOSER. I even questioned BMR a few times on how the fit was not very good. The Strano bar tucks up just like the stock bar would on a 10 bolt rear-end. Weight on the 22mm hollow bar is only 8 lbs +/- , which is extremely light for a rear bar. I would definitely reccomend this bar to anyone considering an upgrade, especially if you have a 12 bolt rear-end.

First trick to a clean under-carriage is never driving the car in rain or snow. I've done alot of detail work over the years to keep the vehicle in this kind of condition. You will need to be willing to put the car on a lift and spend some time with a bottle of orange-blast or simple-green (rags & detail brush) to make an underbody look spotless. The car was very clean when I originally purchased it almost 8 years ago. Thanks for the comps !
Oh, I don't live on the eastcoast. I don't know how you guys keep your cars clean in upper northeast with all that snow in the winter. The car has spent its whole life in the southwest (Texas/OK).

I don't know if the upper panhard rod really helps with anything on suspension, but it definitely make for more clearance getting exhaust through the back end of the car. This would really be helpful if you were trying to put true duals out the back of the car. I did the upper panhard bar becuase I had everything else BMR made .
