    I won't be "ready".
    I won't be paying to have something I don't care about painted!

    No bro you are breaking the rules about cars. A car that looks like a million bucks but has 100hp is always sweeter than a primer car with a blown 572 under the hood making 1500hp.

    all about show not go bro!

    Let me jump into the flame suit real quick!

    I don't actually like the way that looks on white cars.
    If I had t tops I would probably wind up putting white mirrors on it!

    I do need some paint/body work in the spring though.

    EDIT:

    After looking online, I don't mind the black roof, I just like white mirrors better.
    I did not see many white hard tops when searching, most were t top cars.
    My car is an low-option base model though, so it makes sense.

I have the UMI and although they claim it to be adjustable its not like you can change the stiffness of the bar, I have always had mine on the stiffest setting anyways. Its pretty heavy though and they all function the same way. I will say that some of the older styles (ex spohn) aren't bent to clear some adjustable shocks so keep that in mind as well.

    I will probably just go with the mwc then. I need to order a d/s loop from them too. Eric is pretty good about discounts when buying more than one thing too.

    Got a little bit done today, front bar is out, cruise is gone, and removed the rest of the a/c stuff under the hood.

    I pulled my PCM out to ship to Steve to have my retune done.

    I am getting a decent tax return this year, so I will be buying a anti roll bar with that.

    Just beware drag bars can be noisy.

    I am not too worried about noise, I have coilovers and true duals lol.

    I like that the UMI is supposed to be more street friendly, and I can more easily lift the car with a floor jack to change tires at the track.

    I like MWC's pieces. I may wait for tax season and see if either runs a sale.

    Check it out, there are two holes on the end of the bar, the closest hole to the end would be less stiff, the inner one more stiff.

    What do you mean umi is more adjustable and less stiff? You either set the rod links neutral or preload them, There isn't any other adjustability on an anti roll bar.

    Make a pass at the track and see how it tracks. If it wants to steer right lengthen your passenger link, if it want to steer left shorten the passenger side. Set the load on them with a driver that weighs close to you
