Cross-post from the suspension forum - hopefully I won't need to explain why I'm asking over here too:

I'm looking for a lightweight sway bar for my ITA 240SX, and am not having much luck finding information on weight for the various manufacturers. Tanabe specifically mentions light weight as one of the advantages of their bars, but I'm assuming any of the hollow chromemoly type bars are going to be considerably lighter than a solid bar. Weight is more important to me than stiffness in this case, as I can fine tune the suspension with the spring/struts as needed.

Anybody been down this road already? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,Earl

I installed a Tanabe front sway on my 240 this year, very very light compared to the OEM one, and made a huge difference on track. I only have 2 events with it on, but the car was very predictable at Summit Point at VIR. Front roll was reduced allowing more traction.
