Default Swaybar delete update

Installed a swaybar delete shaving close to 27lbs from the front end. everyday driving = excellent, no issues doesnt drive any diferent unless you are attacking corners. At the track, I gained a constant 1.3-1.5 tenths (1/4 mile) and up to 2 miles an hour. Not bad for an $80 piece from UPR products. BMR same stuff tho double the price.

Yes UPR and BMR are the same thing ! UPR is about $100 cheaper

I have the UPR piece and it's made for them by Granatelli. None the less it's a quality piece at a fraction of the cost and seems to help at the track.

They are talking about removing the front sway bar, not the rear.

Put mine on today. I didn't much care for the blue paint so I painted it black. Instead of using plastic ties to support the plastic radiator cover I drilled some holes in the the new bar and used some oe type fasteners (like what holds the top radiator cover in place). Looks clean. I must say when I took it for my normal speed scream I didn't notice any difference is body roll or front end lift for that matter. I would definitely recommend this mod!
