Ok, well if they just came out with them, then I guess the CC ones are hollow. Does it happen to mention wall thickness?

I started with stock (Z51), then Z06, now Hotchkis (bought them used).

Hotchkis is the solution, no question.

what about the rear on a 2000?

To be absoultely sure, I PM'd Gene Culley when he was still at Fred Beans; he looked up my VIN, responded that I did not need the rear. I'd provide you with the part number on the tag, but I sold them a while ago.

You could measure the O.D. of your bar, comapre it to a Z06 bar.

You are partly right. The front is a little softer, the rear is a little stiffer. The important part is that they are adjustable. Stiffness is nothing without balance.

Here is some actual info I posted in another thread.
