I have Stranos Hollow bars w/adjustable rear. I was suprised at how light weight they are. They are produced by Hellwig to his specs fyi.

Ours are solid, so for lightweight I'd recommend Strano. And while you're at it, he carries our full line in case you need any other go fast goodies.

Our fronts and rears are hollow and extremely lightweight. These are in stock and ready to ship. If there are other products you're interested in we can combine them for a custom package and save you a few bucks too.

I have been extremely satisfied with my Strano Bars. They have been on the car since 2007.

+1 On the Strano's if you are looking to save weight. Myself and a friend installed some on our fbody's last summer. One of the few suspension mods you notice as soon as you turn the key over. Love them.

anything that has to do with my f-body, i would go with sam strano (springs/ sway bars). His stuff is top notch IMO.

"Best" for what? Handling? Drag racing?

Yes, they used to be solid and they were heavy as hell. We have since moved to hollow bars on several applications.

Definitely should have said that in the first place. Swaybars made for handling are almost opposite of what you want for drag racing. A bigger front bar will hurt weight transfer for example.
How much handling and ride quality are you willing to sacrifice? You can run a larger rear bar and take off the front bar for better weight transfer, but the car will ride rougher in the rear, and be overly loose in the front.
