I will get that one and might get a UMI 22mm rear bar to go with it if I don't need new shocks with that
Thanks for your help guys!

if your ordering from strano then call in to order and talk to sam, he can let you know what would match best with that front bar. great guy and is one of the best in suspension

The car is not lowered and I haven't got the panhard yet. I'm doing panhard/sway together.

$89 dollar non-adjustable UMI vs $124 adjustable hotchkins or $99 adjustable UMI.

One doesn't need adjustable if not lowered right?

Just get the Strano sways and forget about the Panhard bar. Look into a Fays2 Watts Link to replace the Panhard bar later...

Like Craby said, go phone Sam Strano and talk about your goals for the car -- time well spent, great advice.

@crabby, just curious here. I was looking at the UMI set. Front and Rear, but it looks like they are solid as compared to the strano bars. What would the benefit be other than less weight? Would a solid bar be stiffer than a hollow?
Thanks!

the weight is different and i believe the sway rate would be smother in the hollow bar. like i said if ordering from sam give him a call. he could give better answers than i.

Ended up ordering the strano 35/22 hollow set and UMI panhard rod.

You are wasting money on a Panhard rod -- what do you think it's going to do for you compared to a Watt's Link? I'll give you a hint -- not much.

FAYS2 Suspension page Watts Link page 6
