really quick: BMR or Hotchkis STB?

I'm about to buy a STB and can't decide between the two. BMR is looking better since it's cheaper but what do u guys think? I have a 2011 btw so i have the holes already

If you have the factory holes just get the bar from the vert.$113, polish it up and good to go.It works as good as the others, which isnt much anyway as the car is solid

i think the GM one is too plain looking, i like the more complex look. i like this one http://www.lmperformance.com/559888/119.html ...and it's actually cheaper since it's free shipping

Always liked the Hotchkis one but pick the one you like the best.Watch out that you have clearance and all with the engine cover

You can get the OEM Strut Brace polished or painted most colors. Talk to Lupe at Overhaulings on the forums. Great work!

BMR is easier to install. Hotchkis is a pain to instal as you need a short ass drill for the back side. My BMR took about an hour to put on

Yeah, that's where I grabbed the pic. It's under suspension (should really be chassis or something else) Or you could just put the stb017 part number in the search box.

Or I could look it up for ya...
