Noyzee, I put the Wolf anti-roll drag bar on mine. The car comes out nice and level now. Also it onlys weighs 16lbs and will need to be welded on.

Wolfe is a great setup for a limted street car, or someone that doesn't care about noise.

That's the reason I went with the Spohn 25mm. Hope to have it at the track soon for some "testing"

Yes the spohn is more of a street set-up but is also heavier. The Wolf is more of a race set-up with solid mounting points. The spherical ends have a tendecy to rattle while going down the road when hitting imperfections on the surface.
Bottom line is you have to decide weither you want a street set-up or a race set-up. The spohn doesn't need to be welded if I'm not mistaken, it attaches to the rearend with U clamps I beleive. Maybe Wilwaxu can give some info on that aspect of it. Also I beleive they come in at something over 20lbs.
The Wolf will need to have mounting plates welded to the rearend and also the mounting tabs for the rodends will have to be welded to the underbody.
With the addition of an anti-roll drag bar the car will leave much more level and not want to twist up on the launch. You'll love it.

Noyzee, sounds like the spohn will be more suited for your needs. Order it ! You'll love the results.

Spohn literally bolts right in. Uses all the factory mounting points. Includes all new hardware, with poly bushings.

But.. like I said above.. I've only made one launch with it so far.. so I can't speak to how well it works yet. I can say the car "feels" like it has a front swaybar on it driving on the street

Can't go wrong with the BMR Extreme or the Wolfe bars. If you're not launching straight with one of those...you've got a different problem.

Silver, you did, but i was also looking for other opinions. I have made to many fast choices and end up buying 2 times, so i wanted to double check. it does sound like sphone or bmr might be better for me so far
