Ehhhhh hardware looks cheap. I ordered a hellwig 1-1/8 bar from summit, supposed to be here this afternoon. Ill see if i can get some pics of the hardware and install. From what ive researched it seems the hellwig is the most popular.

Great...
 
Heres the brackets, havent gotten the bar up yet, you will have to drill out the k member with a 3/8 drill bit, the bolts provided are 3/8 and almost go through the factory holes.

Heres the factory 7/8 bar vs the hellwig 1-1/8 bar

I weighed them:

The factory 7/8 bar weighs 11.5 lbs and the hellwig 1-1/8 bar weighs 16.5 lbs

Just got back from our local car show, man i can tell a vast improvement with the larger bar. Before with the 7/8 your body would lean in tight corners, now there is some slight body movement but you feel more planted in the seat, especially since i have a split bench you can deff tell the reduced body lean when cornering, front end feels a lot more predictable.
