Default BMR Sway Bars for C5

Has anybody had experience with the BMR Fabrication sway bars for the C5?

How do that stack up to Hotchkis, GM Z51, T1's

Thanks

I don't have any experience with their sway bars but I setup the original f-body group purchases that really got BMR popular and had a bunch of their stuff on my F-body. Solid company, great products, great prices.

After looking at their site if I was in the market for sway bars I would give theirs a shot.

Thanks;

What I really want to know is how the bars compare ride quality wise.
I like what I have heard on the forum about Hotchkis and they sound right to me performance wise. T-1's are too extreme for my driving and Z51's seem a little less than what I want. From what I have read the BMR's look to be Hotchkis level(stiffer than Z51, good ends, urethane bushings) and about $200 less than Hotchkis.

I posted this question about 3-4 months ago, and didn't get any responses. Must be that nobody has tried them.

You might also try the Z06 kit from Fichtner's - a little stiffer than Z51 and a good deal - price just dropped to ~$230 + shipping. Smokin' good deal.

We carry a full line of BMR products (mostly F-body stuff though) and we have used the C5 sway bars in the past. I just sent another set out also. They are top quality as with all BMR products and the price is pretty hard to beat.
Let me know if I can help.
Thanks,
