FF is a dedicated MOPAR handling company... Hellwig will make anything for any brand.
I have FF... and FF will custom-make handling parts (sway bars, TBs, etc) upon request in different sizes.

1. It doesn't matter, they are non essential, off the track, just suspension items made out of steel. 2. effective rate and cost is the only thing you need to consider. 3. This the most important point, the rear bar mainly corrects for an incorrect front bar. 4. Do yourself a favor, decide on a front bar, install it, road test it, then decide how wrong you were in your front bar choice, and correct that front bar's effects with a rear bar. 5. You will then have two wrong bars that might work out OK. 6. There are hundreds of variables at play in picking a correct SB 7. And last but not least, "Everything effects everything else" on a car by Neil Roberts "Think fast"

No, it does not. Well, I guess I got to research/dig up some quotes/references/books/experts/etc to refute that. Stay tuned.

Not the Hellwig, but I had an Addco rear on my challenger for years and hated it a little more everytime I looked at my car from the rear and saw that bar hanging under the differential. I'm not going to get into the technical handling arguement above, but in my opinion if you want or feel you need a rear bar get the Firm Feel that mounts like the factory ones, but also get the matched front bar. I installed the Firm Feel pieces on my challenger last winter. The fit and finish is great, sales guy was helpful and friendly, and yes the car handles better in my opinion than when the Addcos were on it.
