Can't help you with the BMR bars....
However, we carry a number of bars. Most similar to the BMR's are Addco bars. They are 32mm front, 22mm rear both solid. The set, including new urethane bushings and endlinks is $300..... Much less than what BMR wants.
That said, we also have our own Hollow bar set that we feel it more suitably sized for handling use. There are a couple of reasons I mention this: First, our set uses a 35mm front, and 22mm, both of which are hollow. The weight savings vs. the Addco 32/22, or BMR's bars is around 17 pounds. If you compared to a solid 35/21 combo, you save around 20 pounds. My Hollow bars even save a few pounds vs the STOCK bars (because the rear is solid). The difference in stiffness between a 32mm bar and a 35mm bar is HUGE. You figure bar stiffness by taking the outer diameter to the 4th power. The rear bar is what it is because you do not want too much bar on a street or track driven car. It makes for a lot of oversteer, harder ride, and trouble getting power down out of corners too...... Strano Performance are $379 for the set, and also come with all new hardware and bushings. Compare that to the cost of the BMR bars, and then think about the weight savings as well.
