Stock is 30mm,performance versions(SS,WS6) got 32mm and you really notice the difference going to the 32mm from the 30mm.

Strano offers a 35mm hollow bar,thats about as big as you need to go even for a weekend track car.

if you're going to beef it up then there's no reason to waste money on a hollow bar. stock 30 and the 32 from SS/WS6 are both hollow.

the solid 32 bmr made a whole world of difference but i did quite a few mods all at once. solid 21 rear, solid 32 front, STB, adj panhard rod, tubular lcas, lca relo brackets, and it already had 18s with short sidewalls and a prokit. i ran it with just the rear 21, relo brackets, prokit, and wheels/tires without any front sway bar and it still acted much better than stock.

i wasn't ready one time and almost ended up in the passenger seat. i thougt the rear was sliding out at first because it cut so hard, but then i ended up slouching over the console.
