So what do you all think of BMR's STB? I've never heard of them and need some opinions. Thanks!!

Here's the link.

I heard they are really good suspension products. I plan on getting the rear suspension parts for my car.

I recommend getting Don's Rome's STB- they are much cheaper.

Otto = rust from what I've heard and don't fit right, kinda like ZZPs lately from what I've been reading as well.

Speedbuilt from www.pfyc.com is best IMO for performance and cost.

Holy crap, $145 for a STB!!! Let's see, I paid $22 shipped for both my Front & Rear GMPP STB's! Then like $35 or $40 for just the rear brackets from Don (I already had holes pre-drilled in front).

My front bar is attached to the actual strut tower, not by a brack or anything, it doesn't get anymore stable than that.

Yeah, you do have a point. That's the cheapest way to go about it and I really can't say any other style actually performs better. More for just looks.

I dunno that gmpp front sway bar is just a think piece of metal from the looks of it. I heard you dont get much improvement out of the gmpp stb. Theres a reason its only 22$....

It must be an improvement over stock if GM saw fit to spend some $$$ and put it in their cars as a suspension upgrade.

Ummm, yeah. There is a huge improvement with the GMPP STB's in place. They all do the same thing!!! Stop chassis flex when cornering. $22 or $145, you won't be able to tell the difference from behind the wheel, only when you open the hood.

Do you have pic of your STB brackets?

As for the rest of the suspension, BMR all the way for the 6 rear arms, SLP for the sway bars and STB is (?).
