GTO Sway Bars?

Hi,
I'm looking to get a set of sway bars for my 05 GTO.

Now, I have stock springs with BMR drag bags, TSW Sakata
19X9.5 45mm wheels with 295/30/19 tires.
I've done an aggressive fender roll and run about 12 psi in the bags.
I have a little rub on hard bumps, mostly on the drivers side.
I've ordered Pedders #2589 5/16" raise Drag springs.

I have searched and have come up with :

Hotchkis Sway Bar Set 2004-06 GTO #2278
1 5/16" (33.5 mm) Hollow Front
3/4" (19mm) Hollow Rear
Front 3 position adjustable: 37%, 49%, and 63% stiffer than stock.
Rear 4 position adjustable 50%, 76%, 111%, and 156% stiffer than stock.
Around $360

Eibach Anti-Roll Kit System #3897.320
States as adjustable, but no specs on adjustment.
Also, some list as Front: 32mm Rear: 21mm, others , as
Front: 32mm Rear: 19mm.
Around $270

Has anyone got any advise on which is better, or the specs on the
Eibach adjustment?
I will probably have to go with a 285/30/19 rear tire to completely
stop the rubbing, but I LOVE the look and grab of the 295's.
I'm running 255/40/18 on 18x8 40mm wheels on the front, with no problems.

Thanks,
Larry

Hotchkis.

I've done the Hotchis swaybars, 5/16" drag springs, x-member bushings, cradle alignment and grinded off my fenders to fit a 285/35/18 Goodyear GS-D3 in the raer.

I have Hotchkiss and love it. Set the front one to the softest setting and then adjust the rear to achieve your preferred balance.

Hi, All,

Thanks for the replies.
I called Eibach and the GTO bars were never even produced.
I have a Hotchkis set on the way.

Thanks, again,
Larry
