Hollow packed with sand is hardly hollow, that is a whole different ballgame.

To the OP, what about going to home depot or the like and buying a piece of stainless steel piping and a good drill bit? <$20 and no shipping cost, plus it'll look nice and you'll feel good having made it yourself.

no it isnt the same as solid. its about rotational torque on the shaft. a solid one will twist and a hollow one wont.

as for compressionvs tension i guess its all relative to how you are positioned.

I would if i had mesuements and specs, how long, thickness, wide, distance beteewn holes ect ect... <(info that is paid by shipping?)


I would be more interested in reducing oversteer,
it freaks me out everytime i turn (fast) my rear wants the car to do a doughnut... so i should be worring about stffining up the front instead of rear?

With an '04? Maybe you should slow down a bit then...

Measurements would be easy enough to get from your old bar or I'm sure someone would be able to take some for you, or even better if you know any s2k people around you can take theirs off and use it as a template.
