Is it a street car or dedicated track car? Our bar has been proven to last for street duty as it has no concentrated stress points like a lever arm style bar, and has also been used into the low 1.1 60' range without any flex. It also retains the stock gas tank and is 100% bolt on

We offer one of the lightest and strongest anti roll bars on the market with zero clearance issues with gas tanks and rear shocks like some of our competitors do. And we offer a weld on and bolt on chassis bracket to make installation a breeze.

I just installed a MWC bolt on anti roll bar. Easy install and very light.

I had a umi and switched to the mwc to save weight both good products though.

BMR on my drag car, works fine. In fact, my entire suspension is BMR. I can hook on dirt and my wheelies are arrow straight. My car has a stock motor though so it will hook on dirt.

MWC here. I was so surprised at how light it was. I'm very happy with it. Bought it last year on their black Friday sale. I think it was only $340 but I can't remember. Just something to keep in mind since that time of year is right around the corner.

Just make sure your ARB isn't one like mine that goes right under your rear end. My drain plug is blocked and I will never be able to access it again

I run the BMR bar on my S60 and love it. Easy installation and 0 flex. I drive a lot on the street and it rides great to me. I'd have no problem daily driving it.

We should have sales on certain common items.

One thing to keep in mind is ours is actually that, an anti roll bar not a sway bar. It allows zero side to side movement of the bar which is important to keep it from hitting your shocks plus performance and we use a oilite bushing instead of poly or rubber which is also important for performance as the oilite bushing is not only self lubricating it does not allow the bar to push through the bushing.

We offer our ARB for any type of housing and can be fully bolted in place or weld-in. We do prefer the weld-in over bolt in chassis brackets but both perform very well. Not to mention our ARB does not block drain plugs, it sits behind the housing not under it.

If your housing does not have welded on sway bar brackets we have those available, which is very important as exhaust clamps can twist on the housing under force.

Available for purchase here and are free shipping.

I have the Wolfe weld on drag ARB. I love it. I am sure MWC's is just as good though. But if it is more than 50% track use, I personally would put a drag bar on the rear. Here is a pic of it and the Link. I never have had clearance issues with it, but then again I don't street drive that much, and I am on a 28" rear tire.

I am a fan of the Wolfe bar for a stockish 4th gen car suspension wise... if you are building a race car with no stock tank I would look into one of the pro style bars that's made with what's essentially an axle shaft. Make sure there's grease fittings in whatever you buy and its heim joint mounted to the body so what movement it does have is on a heim style joint, no bind just the bar doing its job.
