So I'm going to get one....to try to reduce unbdersteer (I'm a corner carver), and body roll.....Roush? Saleen? Any and all suggestions welcome. Experiences in trouble-free installation are a plus....

BMR makes a nice beefy rear bar and the bushings are top-notch. I've had no problems.

I have the roush bars. Work good for what they are suppose to do. No experience with anyother brand though. Roush states the car can pull over 1g on the skid.

Thanks. I'm wondering if it is worth the extra $181 to get the front one too (the f/r kit), as I've read the front stock bar is pretty good....or shall I just get the rear?

If you upgrade the rear always upgrade the front. It will make it a total package. With just the rear it may be unpredictable at speed.

The FRPP anti roll kit is really freaking nice! Eibach bars, energy suspension bushings, trick aluminum rear mounts, greasable fittings and an adjustable front bar. I think that the bars are the same that Steeda uses also.

I'd get the whole shooting match.

I installed the BMR front and rear on my car just before running an On-Track event at Nashville Motor Speedway and man did they perform awesome!! Car was a true corner cutter... even going through the s's, the instructor was very impressed. Of course having the Tokicos adjusted proper was a big help too. BMR... great choice!!

Just make sure you hand lube the bushings with synthetic grease. Don't use a grease gun on the fittings or you'll risk splitting them.
Thanks for the heads up...you're talking about the bushings that slip over the ends and get bolted to the axle close to the wheels, right?

Thanks! I got the rear only since I heard the improvement over the stock front was minimal, but I'm sure it will be an improvement. And I can't wait to get the Tokico's...I've already started working on the wife...

I'm running Steeda springs all around. And Whipple @ 20 lbs... not for me. I'm running a Vortech at 15 lbs wit a 75 shot of giggle juice to cool the intake charge, with forged rods and pistons, stock crank and block.

Outstanding....that thing must fly. About your Steeda springs...they lower the car 1.25/1.5', and are quite a bit stiffer than stock, I assume. I'm going for something a little milder, like the mild-drop Roush springs that are a little stiffer than stock but not too much. I want to autocross mostly, road racing gets expensive!
