The search function says the ATR is 1 3/8's  and the stocker is 7/8's.

Interesting. Many other aftermarket stuffs seems to be 1inch?
Hard to believe people need to upgrade beyond ATRs.

ATR is a cheap upgrade...the other stuff is pricier. HR seems to be the hot ticket.

might compare the Hotchkis rear bar to the HR for pricing...look similar to me in design?  Always buy thru a Hotchkis distributor for good pricing

The newer bars attach to the axle and frame and the older bars attach to the lower arms. With the link between the axle and the frame there's less binding and better control so they don't need to be as big. :D

The first one is tubular and attaches to the axle and frame and the second one is solid and attaches to the lower arms only.

5815 is a larger stock replacement - 55809 is a pro touring adjustable

looks like the 5815 is solid, the 55809 is tubular.

55809 is the one to go with... for the money it can't be beat. I got mine from Never Enough in Michigan and had a good experience dealing with them.

The price is certainly right.   How is the daily driving?  It should be better if the rest of the suspension is in good shape...or so I would believe :)

ON my car
Daily driving and up and down movement is very good
here it comes BUT you need to get use to it as it feels like a strange over steer????
i can now launch the car straight with NO air bags and take a 30 MPH turn at 60 or better with little to no lean.
i have two videos one with out and with and you can clearly see the BIG deference.
