Re: Shine anti-sway bar, anyone? because...

["Michael Abatzis" <abatzis@hotmail.com>]

i have a shine bar on my car, but if you're using a square stock i wouldn't
think the ID, OD dimensions would be relevant. you'd be getting "twist"
resistance (or whatever the real term is) for the same dimensions, no? if
you're still interested, i'll take the measurements tomorrow. except for
weight, cause i ain't taking it off.
