what are your goals for the car? mainly strip street road coarse handeling etc? also are you concered with road noise because depending on what you do you might be best off going with rod ends(depends on application). let us know what you want to do and your horsepower goals and im sure a bunch of people while chime in here.

BMR seems to be fully involved on ls1tech nowadays. So for the effort alone I would go with BMR.

umi makes great stuff and its also a little more cost friendly. if its mainly strip i would go with all double adjustable stuff(panhard bar, lcas, a arms etc) and then a tunnel brace mounted torque arm if it were me but on the street its going to be a bit noisy. if it were me i would do the suspension to handle more then what im going to throw at it only because this way you have the option to always add power and really not have to worry.

I would go with BMR. I use their products on my car and I'm very happy. They even gave me free shipping when I called them to buy their th350 crossmember /w torque arm brace

I would go UMI personally. They have some of the best customer service that I have dealt with. Parts seem to be as good if not better than the others you've mentioned. If they had parts for my FRC i'd buy them.

Thanks for giving us consideration. Our extreme anti roll bar is formed from 1.25" solid still and includes 5/8" QA1 series rod ends. This bar is at home at the track or on the street. Several of our customers run mid 7 second quarter mile times with this bar. If you have any questions give us a call. We have them in stock and ready to ship.
