Hotchkis makes some damn good sway bars! I think most of which are hollow.

When I did autocrossing there always was a big controversy hollow vs solids.
My bars are now the super rare Rancho Racing Challenger GTIII 1.25" solid adjustable bars. At max they were 900 lb/in deflection. Insanely stiff if allowed. I loved it. It had issues, like go over a curb and it would pick a wheel off the ground very easily... And if you hit a pot hole, holy cow that hurt!
But I have rarely ever seen a car handle a hard corner flatter. Mine is an 80 Turbo Trans AM. Stock F41 springs with 9C1 cop car shocks in front. It was a heavy car (3850 lbs) that needed all the help it could in handling.

Raybestos (on rockauto.com) lists the rear as having a 13.2mm size.
Professional Grade; Sway Bar Frame Bushing Kit; Contents: (2) Bushings - Rubber w/13.2mm ID
So these would be a big upgrade in rear stiffness over stock bar (where it really needs it). Is the stock solid or hollow? How about the front?
