| Just wanted to jump back in here. I read through yesterday and saw some inaccuracies but I wanted to confirm with some of the other people in the office. In regards to the STILLEN transmission mounts- It sounds like this is another case of a knock off product using the STILLEN name to sell a part. We have actually never sold these before. Also, in regards to the debate between the bar being hollow or solid. Here is a very easy way to tell. When the hollow bars are manufactured we heat the ends until they are glowing hot. Then we take them over to the press and smash them flat. From there the end link mounting holes are punched out. After that the bars are sent out for powdercoating. You can pretty much always tell if a sway bar is hollow or solid simply by looking at this joint. If the joint itself is showing, you can tell that it's hollow. For example here is a picture of one of our hollow bars: [ http://blog.stillen.com/wp-content/gallery/misc/hollow_swaybar_end.jpg ] On a solid bar, the ends are still rounded, I went out to the warehouse and grabbed a 300ZX bar and snapped a picture of that end as well: [ http://blog.stillen.com/wp-content/gallery/misc/solid_swaybar_end.jpg ] As you can see, that bar has no split line.
