For the record, solid doesn't automatically mean they are stiffer

Type of steel, how it was bent, at what temperature, if it was heat treated, and so on dictates stiffer or softer

Tubular tubing can be just as stiff as solid, the only disadvantage it has is that if you scrape it, you're more prone to damaging the bar or even shaving a sidewall off

Called nissan and they said these are Progress sway bars. Correcting myself they are tubular, not solid though they feel pretty beefy.

Found this on them

That front should be almost as stiff as the Hotchkis since it is the same diameter but slightly thinner walled.

Also, I would be willing to trade you for my softer more streetable Stillen swaybars.

Think I'll keep these. If they don't work out for me, I'll be open to trades. Thanks

Got both of these installed today. Ordered energy suspension bushing universal kits. Car feels a lot stiffer. Have the rears on the loosest setting. So far so good. Going to hit some back roads tomorrow.
