what are the individual benefits of the two designs? refer to thunder racing.com if ur lost. i have the oppurtunity to get a BMR stb for 75 bux. however, i really like the look of the hotchkiss. should i wait and get the hotchkiss? does the hotchkiss offer better gains than just the simple BMR stb? is the bmr a worthwhile mod? how about in conjunction with a 32 mm front sway bar and a 19 mm rear?? big diff in handling? how about the hotchkiss with the same sway bar set up?

IMO the hotchkis bar is better looking and performing over the BMR. However the STB is the only hotckis product I would buy.

cool. i cancelled the idea of the bmr brace mainly because the hotchkiss looks so badass under the hood ;) btw thanks for your help in my "holiday shopping spree" threads

IMO Hotchkis has the best suspension parts hands down. I have Hotchkis control arms and polished STB on my SS and when I get around to it will get the Hotchkis lowering springs too! The old saying you get what you pay for definitely holds true here [img]smile.gif[/img]

handle a Sphon part and you will see that nothing beats it's quality. BMR is a close second but other then the STB hotchkis suspention parts do not do much for me.

Yea, the hotchkis STB does look darn good. Thats coming from a BMR owner. It was mainly price for me. planning to spend that money elswere, however.
The bmr does work like it should, though. It is a big sturdy bar. Harder to check trany fluid with it on, however. (great for drying my wet seattle socks, though.) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

depending on what you want from your car should determine who you choose to buy from. BMR, in my opinion, makes good drag components. Hotchkis seems to focus on overall handling of the car as a street machine, taking it a step further than SLP does. LG motorsports seems to have the road racing/cornering hands down beat since they have learned all they know from racing in SCCA, trans-am series, ect. I have no experience w/ spohn, so I won't comment on them.

BMR makes a fine STB... if that's what we're talking about. The STB's function isn't much of one, and the BMR is plenty rigid.
