Keeps body roll down compared to the stocker I had, bushings were shot which didn't help any with the factory piece. I dont do any type of racing but through the quarter so I haven't done hardcore road tested or anything.

I just got the UMI bars this winter while the car was put away. I will say they aren't light, but damn it tightened the car up a whole damn lot. There is almost no roll now. That said I have both front and back. Also added strano springs later. I really like the bars. Really good price too. Wanted sam's bars, but couldn't wing it on my budget so I got the UMI bars. No regrets.

excellent quality bar. i ran that with a 21mm solid rear bar off of a 1le car(some 3rd gens also came with 21mm rears which are interchangeable). the swaybar setup cost me about $225 total and made a huuuuge difference.
recently upgraded to a hollow front bar off of a bilstein ultra car only because it was a free upgrade. the hollow one weighed 8 or 9 lbs less so it's up to you if the extra money is worth going hollow.

Thanks guys.
I'm not trying to save a ton of weight..I'll take the extra 10lbs for the cost of the being cheaper.
I'll look into getting both of them like you guys have mentioned..I want to get the car nice and stiff..I think they will work well with my Eibachs and Bilsteins.

just put mine on a few weeks ago. made a huge difference compared to my 112k mile stock sway bars. with all the susp parts in my sig it feels like my cars on rails going through turns. i do want to upgrade my shocks and springs though, they're crap

I just noticed this..you guys have LS1 Cars..I still have that big Iron Engine up front..that is 85 more lbs on the nose. I think that will make a pretty big difference.
I'm going to get the solid front and leave the stock in the rear and see what it does.
