Swaybars: M2 vs. Tri Point Eng.

Swaybars: M2 vs. Tri Point Eng.
I am looking to get opinions about the M2 and Tri Point front swaybars. I am leaning towards the M2 at this time due to the fact that I have the Widefoot swaybar mounts and the M2 bar is almost $100 cheaper. Both are adjustable and look to be quality pieces, but what are the differences? Pros and cons? I welcome all responses. Thanks in advance.

In an ideal world, where you could actually buy either set, then I'm sure that either one is fine.
In the real world, call TP and M2 and see who has it in stock with the center bar that you want, and ready to ship. You won't save $100 if you *never* get the bar!
Why would I say this? Well, I didn't check and ordered from one vendor, and waited for six months before cancellng my order. I called the other vendor the same day, and it was in my hands the next day.
If you get the TP set, don't buy the bronze bushings, since they won't work with David's Widefoot mounts (because the bronze bushings use non-stock mounting points).
BTW, good choice in the Widefoot mounts. I've got his mounts and pedal extender, and they are first rate products. Too bad he doesn't make the rest of the car...
One more thought-- whether you buy from M2 or TP, discuss with them what you plan to do with the car, and what tires & springs you plan to run. From that, they should be able to recommend a suitable front bar stiffness and a rear bar that balances the whole package.
