1LE/BMR front swaybar

I know the BMR is solid, but is the 1LE front swaybar solid or hollow like the stocker?

I wish I would've asked that 24 hours ago. I just bought a semi-used 1LE front sway bar WITH the bushings and endlinks for $80 shipped. I would've bought a BMR solid one had I known. I doubt that the 1LE one makes any difference.

Re: 1LE/BMR front swaybar

I believe the torsional properties are due mainly to the diameter, not whether it's solid or hollow. Hollow provides weight savings. I'm running Sam Strano's 35mm hollow in the front and the 1LE (21mm) in the rear. Email Sam Strano at Stranoparts.com, he's a suspension expert for F-Bodies.
