They are all real nice pieces. Just make sure that your not just settling and that your thinking about the future.

How 'bout a setup that is 20 pounds lighter than the others? The MWC arb is made from chromemoly tube and is available in a full bolt-on install, and is still fully adjustable with high quality bushings and heim joints. We have sold it to a lot of customers doing both street and strip.

Give us a call for more info and pricing.

I am using a UMI Drag Bar and I find it works well for the street for me. That is what I can say.

Our BMR xtreme anti-roll bar would work very well for you since you drive the car on the street and at the strip. Our bar is very proven and has been on many of the fastest LS1 cars.

Our drag bar also works very well on the street as well as the track. It is also adjustable to offer a more streetable set up and then can be adjusted for the track. Its a 100% bolt in set up but would require welding for drag applications.

If you have any questions I can help with please ask.

Thank you,

My vote UMI... Have theirs on my car. I picked up 1 sec by just adding a drag bar on my car. Never experience the other drag bars so couldnt tell you anything about them.

Our current bar only allows for preload adjustment but we are working on designing a bar that will allow you to adjust the actual stiffness of the anti-roll bar itself. Keep your eyes peeled for it.

The 1st video was without a drag bar and the 2nd video is with a drag bar. I went from 1.8 60fts to 1.40ish by just adding a drag bar.
