I have one on and I'm happy. Didn't spend a lot either. Got it though Pep Boys with free shipping to the store and cheaper then the internet at the time. I also don't care that it sits a little lower than the other bars-people ask me what it is and they seem impressed (sticks out because its red). Sort of like the Red SS's-sticks out and impressive... Hollow though...

There is only one way to install it and mine also sits a bit lower than the stock bar. Mine is pretty heavy too and is not hollow.

My TTR bar tucks up into the rear angle axle nicely.
That's a plus for me, since I floor jack lift it from the middle of the rear axle. (depending on what I'm doing.) & it's out of the way..

The only portion visible are the sides..in Red (of course).

Not saying better or worse, just that this one fits my needs, just right..

PS: Used ones still pop up on the sister site, Cobaltss.net

ewwww....I dont suggest jacking in the center of the beam...its really flexible and Id be worried about putting a small un-noticable tweak there and knocking out the rear alignment...(camber).... its not made for this.

The tube may be heavy but it is hollow with welded on mounting ends. The Eibach web site lists a footnote on their downloadable "car" catalog as (t) which stands for tubular for the rear bar, or aka hollow. As us 5 year olds say-Na Na NaNa Na....So there
