Sway Bar
35mm/22mm are a common handling set for these cars.
Solid vs hollow is personal preference weight-wise. I can't speak for every manufacturer but the popular sets of hollows with diameters similar to 35/22 tend to be slightly lower in rate while still maintaining the same balance. Most of the sway bar action happens on the metal around the outside diameter (the middle is just along for the ride).

What do you do with your car? Pull wheelies on the drag strip? Or more of a handling capable car? Driving granny around? Or acting like an idiot on the street?
I have only had me stock and then Strano Sway bars. However, it has been money well spent in my opinion. One of my favorite mods to the car, and you can tell it as soon as you turn the car the first time.

Of course it depends on what your handling goals are.

You want a good guideline to start from? Go with the strano swaybar set. If you want to save a little money, go with a 32mm front bar and stick with the stock rear.

Hollow saves you weight while being nearly as stiff as a solid bar of the same size.

Its not the hollow vs solid for traction, its the bar thickness. Generally a 25mm (hollow or solid) rear bar is a drag bar, something you dont want for handling, especially if you have a stock front bar.

Thanks i appreciate i guess it does not really matter of its hollow or solid i just have to make sure its 22mm or lower and 35mm in the front since i really dont drag its mainly for daily driver and some street racing here and there
Solid vs Hollow... The only difference is stiffness and weight. A solid bar is stiffer than a hollow bar of same exact size and material. However, most hollow bars aren't that much less stiff. In general hollow bars provide a better tradeoff on weight vs stiffness.
