I'm pretty sure that is a hollow bar. I had one of his early ones and I don't "think" Sam has ever sold a solid front bar...but I could be incorrect.

I assume it is as well. It's the grey finish bar not the black.

Can you hold onto it until after Christmas? If not, I understand.

Are you certain hollow? Can you weigh it?

Also, is this a 3rd gen or a 4th gen bar?

Yep, got one of those as well ....... the gray ones are the earlier models (and hollow), *if* its a Strano bar

What’s the difference in stiffness and weight between that and a solid bar?

Assuming a modulus of elasticity of 153000, my spreadsheet says:

Suspension Techniques 35mm, solid
Spring rate: 699
Stiffness factor: 1500625
Relative stiffness: 20.39
Relative weight: 306.25
Est. weight: 26

Strano 35mm hollow
Spring rate: 493
Stiffness factor: 793342
Relative stiffness: 14.37
Relative weight: 174
Est. weight: 11

That’s pretty cool information. I’m not sure how to read it other than it’s not as stiff and 15 lbs lighter. I’m assuming the weight reduction is worth it.

All that weight falls right on the nose where the car is already heavy
........and, for at least autocross, Sam thought enough to test, design and start mass producing one - so I would say absolutely (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
