im trying to set my MCS up to oversteer a little bit and cant decided on a reas sway bar. would the alta 22mm or th Hsport 25mm be better for my purpous? i have been hearing that beause the Hsport is hollow and the alta is solid, its the same thing.

 

I do believe they have nearly the same stiffness since the one is hollow. You can probably find published "% stiffer" numbers if you dig a little - I know ones exist for the Alta (try their website).

I would go with whichever you can find a better deal on, or if the H-Sport has easier bushings to lube / it doesn't need lubing, then that'd be nice too. My Alta is noisy when the temp drops below 40 or so.

 

ok, i will look around fo stifness numbers. if anyone has any, that would be great.

 

i know the h-sport website has the stiffness percents for all three of their swaybars
