for a street car. I've read about harsh rides
while others say its the best susp mod out there.
Some .02's appreciated.

Not really a big BMR fan but how does there
front/rear setup stack up the more costly/track
ones.

THANKS

Sway bars probably have the least impact on ride quality of any mod. They are only active in turns (during body roll) or when one wheel drops into a pothole. Otherwise, they basically are not active.

I'd consider the 1le bars before the BMR bars, lighter and less expensive. They are an effective upgrade for a reasonable price.

My thoughts.

The single best improvement IMHO. But I'd go for the 35mm Suspension Techniques bar.

I am actually running the 35/25 Suspension Techniques bars on my car. I like them very well. I assumed you were asking about bars for an actual street car and the 1LE bars are a great upgrade and win the bang for the buck contest. But, I do like my ST bars.

I use a 21mm rear bar with my 35mm. I believe the 25mm rear bar is a little too large for getting the power down out of a corner. That might not be as critical on the street but it is for us looney autocross drivers!!:D
