noooo 15lbs in the front of the car does matter. it will corner faster than stock, yes, but it's still an extra 15lbs. if i could corner just as well without that weight, it would be even better yet. that is why hollow>solid.

what i meant was instead of buying a brand new 35/21 solid/solid setup, try to find 3rd gen or used 21mm rear bar so you have extra $ to spend on a hollow front where the weight really matters.

i doubt you would feel the difference between hollow/solid, but it is adding considerable weight in a bad place so i would avoid it if you can
