Default Need a new sway bar

I just looked at my front sway bar and found a crack. I need a replacement and was wondering what would be best? I looked into a 35mm UMI performance sway bar, but not sure what size is best? Also is anyone selling a gently used performance bar?

Thanks for considering UMI. 35/22 works great as a team.

If you care about the weight, look into a hollow one at 35/22, i.e. Stranoparts

Bars work best when paired together. So if you're set on the UMI front, be sure to get the rear. If you would like a hollow, lightweight option, we have you covered there as well. Either will work well for you.

I disagree. I think depending on ones own setup, you can mix and match bars for whatever works best for ones car. In many cases it's not a bad guideline to use but not all manufactures bar pairings are ideal.

In my case I use a 35mm front strano bar and a 19 mm stock rear.

I may get the front and back kit if I have the money, but if the rear stock works well I may hold onto it.

I tried 35/19 for a few weeks and then changed to 35/21 and it was really nice, the stock bar out back made it feel like the rear was too slow to react with the big front bar

For most people a 35mm/22 or so mm combo should work really well. Probably will work for me as well. I do a type of racing event that 99.9999% of people probably don't do.

Hello,
I have a new unopened original 32mm 1LE that i will sell you for $65+ shipping. I bought it 3 years ago and never opened it due to going with all BMR parts. I should have just used my $65 OEM bar and saved that $2000 hmmmmm.
