    For future reference 97-03,

    Stock Front - 28mm - Hollow
    Stock Rear - 17mm - Hollow

    -------------------------------------------------

    GMPP Front - 34mm Hollow
    GMPP Rear - 19mm Solid

    Progress Front - 34mm Solid

    Dorman Front - 34mm Solid

    SLP Front* - 34mm Solid (35?)
    SLP Rear* - 19mm Solid (25?)

    BMR/Addco/Speedbuilt/Next Level Front - 32mm - Solid
    BMR/Addco/Speedbuilt/Next Level Rear - 22mm - Solid

    RAT Front - 38mm - Solid
    RAT Rear - 27mm - Solid

    Availability of most of these is limited. RAT are no longer made.

    Apparently some users reported different sizes for SLP's. I got mine from craigslist so I'm unsure if they're legit SLP's or someone combined a different set.

Also I'd say the front is actually 34mm and not 35. The 35mm bushing I have for it did not fit snug around the bar but had about a 1mm gap. Maybe that's normal and there's suppose to be that much room. I thought it was suppose to be pretty snug around the bar though. If the front is 34mm and the rear is as small as I think I'm going to be returning them and buying other bars.
    SLP's on sale from 3800 report 1 3/8" thick for the Front and 5/8" thick for the Rear Sway Bar.

    I believe the front gmpp is solid, the weight difference is significant over a stock one
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    So does anyone know for sure if the front GMPP is solid or hollow? Seems weird that they would go from hollow rear to solid rear but leave the front hollow.... But then again the front increases 6mm and the rear only increases 2mm so maybe thats why....

    Someone should add which ones we can pull out of a junkyard for an upgrade. If I remember correctly some of the other W-body cars came with the GMPP bar...Impala, Monte Carlo?
