Strano Performance 22mm hollow Adjustable: Approximately 200, 230, 275 lbs/in

Hmm, I wonder what those rates translate into for a solid bar. I might be interested if one of those values is insignificantly different than the rate for my 24mm solid bar. What type of bushing material is that in the endlinks, poly, rubber? The material looks a little ragged, where do you get replacement bushings and how to you swap out the bushings?

I previously estimated (not actually measured since it was installed) my current GM 24mm bar with these measurements:
Arm: 222.25mm
Bar length: 876.3mm
OD: 23.5mm

With those assumptions, I came up with a 242lb spring rate. Regardless how accurate that is, I'm really happy with the car's balance and I don't want to change that. I do like the adjustable endlinks in your kit, though.

Just a heads up - give hellwig a call for the missing hardware. I needed some new hardware for mine last year, they sent me a complete hardware kit free of charge. They had great customer service.

There's an old sticky here but it doesn't seem to be all inclusive.
