Default Looking to do some suspension upgrading, lets talk sway bars

I'm planning on spending the $224 on G2 lowering springs. I also want to buy front + rear sway bars. G2 sells theirs for something like 324. What otehr choices do I have. BMR has a pretty good price on theirs but I've heard their quality is less than others. Well maybe not quality wise, but they don't do as much research as other companies do. What other manufacturers should I look into? I'm planning on doing this relatively soon.

Try out a Suspension Tech. 35mm front. Cheap and it works well with the 19mm rear.

When I added the ST 35mm bar, my car began pushing like a pig.

There is a similar "handling" thread in the road race section of this site.

And as for how the sway bars function, just fine. BMR units are solid construction, the caoting is available in many colors. THUMBS up in my book.

I think the best combo reported for the bars are the solid 32mm fron and a 21 mm rear. Now some folks mention that the metal is different in the G2 bars than others. I have no comment on that.

I would love to go with BMR and get my Hugger orange suspension parts but some say they like em, some say they arn't the greatest. I'm thinking about buying that edelbrock torque arm I'll have the G2 super springs and I was thinking sway bars too. I'm probably only looking to spend 600 or less for right now. I have to sell a few more things + I'm trying to afford a Honda RC51. Anyone else got anby kind words of advice?
