I've seen them selling a little cheaper than the Spohn but not sure what the quality is. And also what is color did you get; they say color varies what you get, could be black, grey or green

I had a 35mm ST front sway bar until I swapped it for a 35mm Strano bar (which is MUCH lighter).

I have the front 35mm. The fitment is very good, but it is extremely heavy. I've tried other front swaybars and fitment seems to be an issue with different ones, but the ST bar definitely gets set in there well. If you don't mind adding on an extra 11-20 lbs, then it's a good bar.

a few extra pounds no problem, I'm not a racer besides random red light racing. I bought the front / back set for $319 + free shipping. Doing an entire suspension upgrade.

I bought a 35mm ST front sway bar back in 2007.

Overall its a nice bar that fits very well, yeah it's pretty heavy.

The only complaint I have is that the original dark grey powder coating was not durable at all and rust started forming under the powder. No biggie though, I just ended up repainting it chassis black.

thats a good deal. the UMI looks to be a solid bar design too, so I don't think would be much lighter than the heavy ST design. I paid $317 for the ST kit out the door no tax no shipping.

Thanks 4150 for the paint alert, I'm gonna put another coat on them before I install.

ST bars are heavy, but certainly work. 35mm front, 25mm rear...I pulled both off of my car in favor of Strano bars, so the ST bars have been sitting in my shed ever since.

I think you'd pay more to have them shipped than I'd charge...one of these days I'll stop being lazy and put them up on here or Craigslist.
