    I saw another post on here about front sway bars, someone put a link to eBay for te dorman sway bar for 90 shipped, a friend kelps telling me not waste my money and spend the extra and get the gmpp one. Is te 90 dollar eBay one that much worse? Gmpp says it's 34mm and the dorman is 33mm so is that such a huge difference, just want some oter peoples opinions

    i might be wrong, but if im not mistaken, gmpp isn't solid and dorman is.

    That was one thing I lliked about it besides the price difference I assume that solid is better due to it being more solid

    You should tell your friend not to voice his opinion unless he knows the facts first. The 1mm difference isn't much, but the fact that the GMPP is hollow and the Dorman is solid is night and day difference.

    Dorman bar can be used in place of a speedbuilt/bmr/addco front bar if using one of their rear bars.

    Very nice vehicle balance.

    Yeah, but with shipping it comes out to a bit more.
