Where to find Hollow Sway Bar Kit?

Does anyone know where i can find a hollow sway bar kit for my 93 and what size would be good for street use and not over kill?

It seems as though most people quit making these!

Also i am looking for a recomendation on a good rear sway bar as well?

Racing Beat and Eibach had sold hollow fronts before, but RB now uses a 32mm solid (like suspension techniques), and Eibach no longer sells any FD bars (was 32/19 hollow set, rear adj). I think Tri-Point still does sell hollow fronts, special order. See my table for some tri-point sizing info.

Cusco and HKS (stillen lists them) make FD bars, not sure if hollow. RB rear is still 19mm hollow and adjustable.

Here's my experience on hollow sway bars:

Although light weight, they just don't seem to be as strong.

For the front the RB sway bar should be fine.

I have tried couple of hollow rear sway bars ( one was Eibach, forgot the other one) and both of them snapped like a twig.

Somehow, driving on shitty roads with uneven surfaces at high speeds and couple that with sticky tires like A032r seems to put a load that the hollow sway bars just can't hack.

I now use Solid steel ones from Addco and have had no problem whatsoever........

I am actually only considering a hollow bar for the front and a solid bar for the rear...

I want the hollow bar for both the weight but mainly for the trick looks!

i believe the front bar is for better steering reponse and the rear is for less lean.

With that being said that might explain why th ehollow ones snap.

Sure the solid ones weigh more, but that is minute and close to the ground.
