RE: another suspension question
BMR makes great products... I'm unsure if theirs comes with the endlinks...This is why I went with the Spohn front sway bar, because I knew for sure it came with endlinks also.
You'll get much more benefit changing the rear sway bar, if you haven't done that yet.

RE: another suspension question
i have the pony package rear sway whatever comes with it.. seems pretty thin..its seems as though my front 2 wheels get thrown the most when i hit bumps though.. not so much the rear. ive looked into bump steer kits, my lca's helped a lot, but the front loses it every now and then.

GT= 20mm sway rear and 34mm sway front.

RE: another suspension question
I have a GT. I can't give you factual numbers or something... But I can say that the panhard bar and panhard brace replacement was awesome, and so was my rear swaybar... Thats all I can say.
I notice now the car is very tight and understeers when I autocross, probably due to rear mods, which is why I'm now replacing the front swaybar.

RE: another suspension question
Larger sway bars are not gonna make your car handle bumps better, they help control body roll in turns. Shocks and struts are what control suspension rebound on bumps. The factory ones are barely adequate. You would want to upgrade those toaftermarket "gas type". That will make all the difference in the world going over bumps and driving rough roads.
