who is running STBs front and rear and bigger sway bars/links?
i'm shopping around for some STB for the front and rear, and see a bunch of different kinds. i've found just the basic bar, or some that go around the whole strut tower, and also different sizes. i'm just looking to see what seems to be the most popular one, and see what everyone else has?
also wondering on who is running bigger sway bars and links?
thanks doods

I was thinking about getting the DR brackets for the rear since I got a decent STB out of the junkyard for $5 (just needs little paint) and then I was thinking of buying one off of 3800 the BMR stb. But if you want a good cheap setup then get the GMPP ones off of W-body for like $28 and then get the DR brackets.

I did not care for the GM STB design unless you add the Don Rome brackets, but after the cost of it all, you might as well go for a ZZP STB.
Originally I wanted BMR STBs (only because UMI Performance has not made any for the W-Body). On Black Friday, I decided to go ZZP since there was a significant issue. When I get the Monte out in spring, it will now have a front and rear STB.
My sway bar is what came with the car. The part number sticker is still on it and I hope to someday get under the car, record the part number and cross ref it to see if by chance it's the GMPP bar (it looks big enough it might be, but not sure). I upgraded the sway bar bushings and end links to Energy Suspension poly bushings. Here's the link:

The ZZP ones look pretty decent i wish Pedders made suspension parts for the w-body, got all there stuff on the gto quality stuff, you should measure the height of ur rear wen u get it on for me so i can see if i got enough room lol
