Default Anti_roll Bar?

Which one is better?The Wolfe looks pretty beefy.I've got all BMR stuff so far and had good luck with it.1.45 short times on motor with a lot of body roll and right side setting down on slick a little.Can't spray it until I get a anti-roll bar of some sort,should be some low 1.30's or high 1.20 60fts with spray.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm running the BMR Extreme Duty bar and it seems to work great so far.. You definatey do not want to run the Wolfe bar if you plan to do alot of street driving. Its the best for a track only car, but its stiff as hell and very noisy on the street from what everyone says..

I have the Spohn. Works great down to 1.40 60's. Low 1.3's and 1.2's I don't know cause I'm not that fast.

I was thinking of getting the Wolfe but I still drive on the street alot, so I think I'm going with the Sphon instead.

i ended up going with the spohn 1" bar and i didnt notice one bit of diff in road noise. its not as stout a peice as the larger bars but im sure noise would be comparable.
