btw- I still don't have mine in... Midas, and about every other shop i've been to, told me they wouldn't do it. Any advice? Where did you guys go and how did you convince them to install it?

install a rear sway bar??? do it yourself, it's easy. if it needs welding (the brackets) just take it to a place that will weld it after you have it on.

Larger diameter = larger polar moment of inertia
Hollow = less weight (go faster!)
If I did the numbers right, a 24mm hollow bar would have to have a 9.5mm (~3/8") wall thickness in order to have the same torsional rigidity as a 22mm solid bar, assuming the same material (i.e. shear modulus) in both bars. But, with the hollow bar, you'd save about 2 lbs. for every foot of bar length (if it's made of say, steel). Assuming the bar is say 4 ft long, that's 8lbs. of weight savings using the hollow bar. Hey, every bit counts!
But come on, we all know we'd be better off w/ an extra long hot dog with a few hose clamps and some bolts. I'm in! 
BTW - any of you have material prop's for a Ballpark frank?

Munch is correct.
The 24mm hollow Aussie Bar, even though it is slightly larger in diameter than the solid batt bar, yields the same torsional momeny of inertia, which is directly proportyional to torsional rigidity, as the 22mm solid bar, whilst making the Aussie bar even LIGHTER than the STOCK SVT rear sway bar!
This is because the torsional rigidity is directly proportional to the radius taken to the 4th power (R^4), so what this means is that the center 2/3 of the bar is really insignificant as far as stiffness goes, compared to the outer 1/3 of the bar's radius.

They don't make them anymore! You will have to buy one second hand. At least that was the last thing I heard!

Total BS. I actually spoke to the Prototype Shop Manager today who wanted to know if more were going to be ordered. Best Ask Terry Haines if he will order more.  Otherwise, you guys better start another Group Buy, this time with people who WILL pay up when the time comes. If anyone needs help with this let me know. But AFAYC, AAM STILL DOES MAKE THE AUSSIE BAR!

Blah blah blah. My foot is directly proportional to the size of my....oh never mind.

i was thinking of making my own three liter engine for a swap, i have two 1.5 liter engines, can i just weldthose two together and make one 3.0 liter? i'm joshing ya, buy one professionally made Originally posted by Stazi the Aussie:
