Default Sway Bars

Looking at getting new sway bars, since our cars arent the best corner carvers.
Ive always heard great things about Hotchkis, and am looking at their bars,
the 1.5" tubular front and the 1" tubular rear, what do yall think?

I understand thatthe front sway bars are beefy enough and replacing them with just about anything else out there would be for no gain. From what I can tell you start with the rear.

BMR seems a top choice.

What are your intentions for the car? You first talked about corner carving...and then drag racing...what do you want from the car?

This is a great point because you can go opposite directions. If you are dragging....BMR sway delete....but that would NOT be good for corner carving.
