Default Show me your Wolfe and BMR rear drag sway bars!!!

I'm down to these two swaybars. I drive the car maybe twice a month so it's not much of a daily driver anymore. I have a spohn 1" swaybar and im still getting some twist in it so it's time to go bigger with some adjustability. Show me your setups and for the BMR extreme swaybar how close is it to your aftermarket shocks?

I've done both setups on various cars.....They will both fit without hitting your shocks......and both work great......I have a wolfe anti roll on my personal car. I also recommend boxing up where the endlinks connect on the wolfe......

Scott, I know you said you have the 1" spohn bar but have you looked into the Spohn Pro Series Drag Bar. I've seen alot of guys on here run them with great results. Just a thought from a former racer. http://www.spohn.net/shop/1998-2002-...-Sway-Bar.html

I dont know personally if they do or not. Have to talk to spohn about that, but it does state off their info about it Sway bar will work with any stock or aftermarket rear end housing and will clear all aftermarket exhausts and suspension components.

The spohn jams into aftermarket shocks. The 1 inch spohn bar i have is fine but the full drag bar will not work for me. I don't want my HAL shocks beat up so im looking at the wolfe or BMR and the BMR would be more street friendly for a street car.

The BMR is the better choice for a street car. I have the BMR on mine with Strange SA shocks and it works great. Though I no longer drive on the street and wish I would have gone with the Wolfe for the lighter weight.

i have the umi bar and there is plenty of room to adjust the shocks. I have all spohn on my third gen except for the drag bar. don't clear strange sa. umi gets my vote.

Its looks nice but doesnt have great clearence. Trust me you dont want that headache. Steer away from spohn and pick up the umi or bmr for a street oriented piece.

I had a good thread on here outling this, but admin didnt like me telling the truth about a sponsors product and deleted it. go figure.
