your lower control arms are going to bend before that bar flexes and its going to push like a pig unless you put a decent size bar on the rear. Believe me.

Nope the bars not hollow. And the bar was on the car when I baught it....How dare you call my car a pig!..LOL The bar on the rear appears to be the same size. The bar is soft mounted with rubber baby bumpers on the bottom of the universals. As I recall the car didn't seem to push at all, however thats been 6 and a half years ago sooo.
