if anything just throw some hawk hps's in the front, that should be fine for now

if you have the money get hollow bars. not much difference in rigidity between solid/hollow so you might as well keep weight off if you can, especially in the front. i have a 35/21 solid/solid setup and am very happy with it. a lot of people run a 22mm hollow in the rear as well, since it's very similar in strength to a solid 21mm yet weighs less.

one thing many people overlook is the fact that some 3rd gens(same rear suspension as 4th) came with 21mm rear bars. those normally go for around $30. perfect match for a 35mm front, plus you can put the $120ish you save on the rear bar towards the hollow front or some other goodies. stock rear bars are solid anyway, so there will be maybe a 1 lb weight gain. not worth an extra $170 to go hollow back there if you can find a cheap rear bar IMO. on the other hand, stock front bars are hollow. my solid 35mm front weighed roughly 15lbs more than the hollow 32mm bar it replaced, and while it still made a huge difference, i hate knowing how much weight it added to front of my car.

going this route(hollow front, solid 21mm 3rd gen or 1LE rear) will get you a very nice swaybar setup for under $300, instead of almost $500 for the exact same thing -2lbs.
