Question for my fellow Stangbangers. Doing a four wheel disc SN 95 Cobra brake swap on my 86. Figured I would change the sway bars too. I have Suspension Techniques sway bars. The front is 1 3/8" solid sway bar. What benefit would it be for me to change to a Steeda 1 3/8" sway bar that is hollow (besides overall weight distribution).

I have a 1995 Explorer that came with a large (hollow) front sway bar. I put on Explorer Express sway bars which were solid and it tightened up the front end.

Which goes back to my original question, what benefits besides weight distribution would I get with a Steeda hollow sway bar?

No one has ever used a Steeda 1 3/8" hollow bar?

How much weight difference is there? I would imagine a hollow bar will lighten up a little bit, but also not be as rigid as a solid bar. Also, it's gotta be somewhere like, 10-15 lbs difference? I would think that's a marginal difference to really notice much?
