Default Which rear sway bar to buy?

BMR has 2 different rear sway bars and I'm not sure which to get. They have the SB003 - Rear Bar(with bushings) 25mm - 1982-2002 F-Body for $189 or is it worth it to get the XTREME Rear Anti-Roll Bar. Im not into doing all kinds of crazy cornering moves or **** all though my complete rear end is out and I would like to replace it. I have to have new end links because they snapped on the way out. Any opinions would be great, thanks

They are two completely different animals...

The first bar which is just a rear sway bar is primarily for handling purposes. The second bar is an anti-roll bar which is used for drag racing. It is used when a car has problems leaving the line straight. I would suggest you do a decent amount of research before buying either one yet because like I said they are completely different animals for different uses. I am soon planning to run an anti-roll bar like that BMR for drag racing because I am leaving the line slightly crooked. That comes at the expense of hindering the handling and drivability with running such a bar on the street.

You are in the opposite situation I am in. I have the BMR standard rear bar and I leave the line sideways, which is why I upgraded to the Wolfe solid anti-sway bar.

If you're interested in my BMR, PM me. Barely used. Endlinks included.

I went with the UMI drag bar. Should work great for me.
