just picked up a 35mm front bar off of a bilstein ultra car. definitely feels lighter than my solid 35mm UMI, but it's double the weight of my stock 30mm bar.

anyone know the approximate weight of a hollow 35 or for sure if the bilstein firehawk cars got hollow or solid bars? one source online says hollow, the other says solid.

thanks

if it is from slp I think it is solid. my buddy had the slp 35mm put in from slp and it was very heavy.

yeah it still weighs quite a bit but turns out it is actually hollow

so what does it weigh? I know what mine weighs, and it sounds like theirs is a lot heavier. My bar in a box (a big box 56x21x3") with all the endlinks and bushings and clamps is 20 pounds out the door. The bar itself is about 15 pounds which is about 3 pounds more than stock 32mm, about 5 more than a 30mm. If your bar is really double your stock bar... that's surprising for a hollow bar unless it's got a wall thickness that is just stupid thick.

just reweighed them (bathroom scale):

30mm with mounts, bushings, and endlinks: 12lbs
35mm with mounts, bushings, and endlinks: 19.2 lbs

i thought the stock bar came out to 10lbs last time which is why i rounded to double. i guess either the scale isn't accurate or i wrote it down wrong.
