Myles can correct me, but a 25.5 mm hollow bar should be in the 22- ish mm range of a solid bar

And some buns?

Will the valving balance front to rear on these shocks possibly mitigate understeer....particularly with a stiffer FSB?

Just in case there are any members out there that are thinking about waiting for another manufacturer who is on par with bilstein to bring a competitive product. Don't hold your breath. I contacted a certain schock manufacturer that begins with K and ends in I over a month ago. I just heard back today that it's "on their radar", but even if they decide to pursue it don't expect anything for at least another...

Thanks for the reply Myles. I didn't think 30lbs would make a difference but I figured I would ask.

i'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to sways either so my question is for a DD wrx that i MAY auto-x once or twice a year, what would be the recommendation? I'm thinking something that may be more neutral rather than an over/understeering would be preferred? and can i achieve the neutrality with just a single (rear or front) sway? i'm ordering the shocks w/ the yellows if that matters.

Thank you for the clarification. I should say, I'm no expert. Nor do I play one on TV Yes, a D-Stock...
