Front Sway bar ?/
Front Sway bar ?/ So I took my front sway bar off to go drag racing last weekend and I was going to go ahead and replace the stock bushings(worn out) with urethane's. Now my thought is I might as well go ahead and replace the front bar. I am currently looking at Spohn and Addco Swaybars(Addco has tubular bars available). Spohn has always proven to be top quality at a good price. Addco has been building Swaybars longer than anybody really and has always been good. The thing I don't like about Sphohn and most others is that they are Solid bars and not hydroformed Tubular. The tubular is more rigid and a lot lighter. Anybody have any input or other brand ideas. I know BMR's products and I believe they are solid as well, only more expensive than the other two.
In summary 2 questions: 1. Aftermarket Swaybars worth it as opposed to stockers with Urethane Bushings
2. What brands and styles are people happy with.
Thanks

Depending on what size bar your looking for, check out Stranoparts. Sam Strano has a hollow 35mm front sway bar made by Addco to his specs. I recently put this bar on my car after getting rid of my 1LE front sway bar. It is a really nice unit, and it doesnt weight a ton like some of the solid bars.
On my 93Z28 I had an RKSport(made by Suspension Technologies) solid 35mm front swaybar, now I have Sam Strano's hollow 35mm front sway, the difference is not noticeable to me, and the hollow 35mm is at LEAST 10lbs lighter.
Another vote for Sam's hollow 35mm front swaybar custom made for Sam by Addco, and only available through Sam Strano.

I my humble opinion, there are only two choices on front sway bars. Cheap way to go- the ST 35mm solid front. A slightly more expensive option is the Strano hollow 35mm.
There is a third option and that is the 36mm hollow bar that {I think} SLP sells. It's bad pricy though.
