Wow, that's not much at all. What all is involved in installing one?

i'v read that you want to stay away from those because there not the same strong quality as a fox gt's rear.

Huh? Why wouldnt it be? Its a solid bar, like the fox GT bar, just slightly smaller in diameter.

I cannot remember the year, but some of the SN95 cobras used a hollow rear bar that would crack where it tapered down on the sides where it bolted on at. Otherwise, all factory mustang bars have no known issues

94/95 GT/Cobra rear sway bars are the hollow ones to stay away from. V6 94/95s didn't have the same problem.

why did they make those hollow? To cut weight? That makes no sense to me, but I'm no engineer so that may be why...

Material cost cutting?

I dunno for sure either, but it sure does not sound like a smart idea.

so, especially since the ones in the six cylinder mustangs weren't hollow...I would think it would be the other way around...hmmm
