you dont know everything -

Only the JDM DC2R has both 22mm (solid)and 23mm(hollow)rear swaybars , depending on year. The local AUDM DC2R has a 22mm swaybar.

yep as per Ben, also the ek4/em1 swaybar is solid not hollow.
Only the 23mm is hollow, none of the others are at all

anyone got a weight comparison for hollow and solid?

23mm, is that actually 22mm metal, 1mm paint?

im pretty sure one time i bought a 23mm sway bar, stripped it to bare and measured it again. 22mm with vernier caliper.

regarding stiffness, i remember one time i read in a book that having a solid bar doesnt increase rigidity. any input?

thanks.

Interesting , but i would think it's an as is measurement.

As far as I know , the 98 spec rear swaybar is 23mm outer diameter and hallow to save on weight and maintain the rigidity of the previous swaybar design.

Anyone got some fact sheets on these swaybar ?
