The above links talk about strength. High strength does not mean high stiffness. Cro-Moly is a very strong metal but it bends and flexes real easy when compared to Al or hard steel.

Actually Whiteline seems to think that hollow bars are good once you get past the fact that they cost more to manufacture, and get past the fact that they are harder and require more precision to manufacture.

I say get what yo ucan afford. The Hotchkis setup is surely not cheap over a comparable Addco or Hellwig sway bar.

I wonder if I would have any clearance problems with a rear bar and my rear diff cover?
