What swaybars and SFC , street car

Just installed Bilstein's which are great, seem to be some good results from upgrading either or both the swaybars and sub frame connectors. What is recommended for a street application and should the bushings also be upgraded? Worthwhile?
For the SFC's what allows the maximum clearance around the exhaust, weld in type of course.


Thanks!

new poly bushings should be a requirement when doing sway bars...

i've read of guys noticing a nice improvement with just doing bushings on stock bars...

if you wnat to go inexpensive look into the 32mm hollow 1LE front and 21mm rear bars...

i have the solid 32/21mm BMR bars with poly bushings and endlinks and they made a dramatic improvement on otherwise stock suspension.

With Bilsteins I really like 35mm ft. 19mm rr. and KBDD SFC's weld and bolt to more attachment points than any others.

Running bilstein HD's, bmr sub frame connectors, 32mm SLP solid sway bar, stock 19mm rear bar, poly ended pan hard rod and lower control arms, Strut tower brace (gains minimal to none).

Im using stock bushings in the sway bars. I might change out poly in the rear but the fronts dont have poly end links because it restricts weight transfer & hurts launches. Car handles nicely with normal endlinks.

how long does it take to install front and rear sway bars with all new bushings. I was thinking about getting bmr 32/21 from afterthoughts.
