Hey guys, i know its been beat to death but i cant make my mind up. My car wont see alot of street time but when it does i dont want any issues. The Spohn seems to be the cheapest but which one works the best? My car has bmr everything on it but if i get a good deal on the Spohn and it works just as good that is the way i will go. Which one are you guys running. I am planing on the car getting in the 9's at some point, just so you know. Thanks guys Charles

 

I bought the Spohn drag swaybar and the difference was night and day from the toothpick stock one. My car used to leave like the leaning tower of pizza. Look at the pic in my sig she is dead on level. The unit is 20lbs heavier than stock but worth the penalty plus this weight is right on the axel.

 

thanks dude, your car looks good as hell. If i can get mine to do that i will be satisfied. Did you get the 25mm chromemoly one? That is the one im looking at and will most likely go with.

 

I have a spohn rear sway bar on my third gen. It's been on the car for 5 years with no issues. 1000's of street miles and 100's of passes in the 8's.

 

Damn, thats enough for me... thanks

 

I bought the Spohn unit.

Reason I went with it is the chassis mounts. You can bolt it in where the stock mounts are and use the bolts as additional support on top of the welding.





I also welded the mounting brackets (still used the U bolts) to the 12 bolt, they shifted on me when I hit a bump.

All said and done

 

thanks for the pics, your setup looks good.

 

I have the bmr and it is the same, looks and all. I had a spon and my lt1 car. Works great, both are great sway bars

 

yea, i think the bmr cost more though. so it will be spohn for me,lol.

 

You'll be fine with either bar

 

Witch is the lighter?

Will they clear the qa1 coilovers?

 

I'll most likey go with the Spohn myself

 

Only thing I don't like about the spohn is the u bolts that are still used to attach it to the rear. I went with a wolfe myslef mainly because it's a fully welded on piece, which I think if you're at the point of needing a good drag bar is the right way to go. The wolfe is also built off a single strait bar that does all the flexign, so the liklyhood of that tweaking over time I think would be less then a piece of metal that was heated and bent to it's shape.

I'm sure they all work fine though.

 

Wait until the end of this week. There is something new in the works that will be alot cheaper than ones mentioned, yet work better

 

the spohn gets my vote. both are close in price but the spohn is easier to install as it bolts to the frame where the old links went so it makes it easier to weld if your doing it by yourself.
also you can and should weld the u-bolt mounts to the axle ( like in the picture above)
then they wont move

 

I have the Spohn drag bar on the Formula (1.35 on DR's) and the BMR drag bar on the Camaro (1.38 on 28x10.5's), both work great.

 

I assume this anti-rollbar is the same on in the other post? "work better" Kind of a bold statement to make seeing you admitted it hadn't been on a fast car yet......

Yup Lee, it should work better than the any of the factory style/shaped sway bars. I know you cannot dispute the weight factor can ya

 

where's it at, and how much?

 

The weight of the bar IMO isn't in a bad place I have had our customers using our bar go as as fast (or faster) than a lot of guys who run the chassis style anti rollbar. The trick is not to use the anti rollbar as a crutch to fix other hidden problems in the car
